Kendra is a compassionate, skilled mental health nurse whose advocacy and patient teaching consistently go above and beyond. As a field nurse and often the first line of care, she ensures patients receive not only excellent clinical treatment but also resources and family support to sustain recovery.

Kendra’s strong critical thinking and up‑to‑date knowledge of policy and nursing procedures make her the go‑to colleague for safe, patient‑centered solutions. In class, she is respectful, courteous, and values diverse opinions; at work, she routinely stays beyond shift hours to meet patient needs. Her drive and dedication are exemplified by completing her BSN in just nine weeks before beginning the MSN‑PMHNP program. Kendra embodies CARE, confidence, and integrity—truly deserving of recognition.
