I am originally from San Diego, California. During my childhood, my dad had been hospitalized and underwent open heart surgery. I was only 5 or 6 years old at the time, and it made quite an impression. When I was in high school, he was hospitalized again for an infection in his blood.

I attended Point Loma Nazarene University for my BSN and completed Air Force ROTC at San Diego State University.
