For more than 10 years, she has consistently employed and educated others on Infusion Nursing Society’s best practices.
“I love being able to help care for and bring comfort to our patients,” shares Michelle.
Michelle earned a bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Southeastern Louisiana University to fulfill her childhood dream of having a career in the medical field.
