Listening is important to Rebecca.
“I take time to listen to everyone I care for,” she said. “I include my patients in their care plan and try to connect with them, so they feel comfortable.”
As a child, Rebecca often pretended she was a nurse. Her desire to care for people arose out of that. She also had a lot of nurses in her family to look up to. After having her first child, she knew women’s health and obstetrics was where she wanted to be.
“My delivery nurse was compassionate and caring. I strive to be like her every day,” she said.
Rebecca grew up in Eureka. She fosters children and loves providing a safe and loving home to kids while they navigate the foster system.
