She recently accepted the position of Clinic Manager after being with ARA since 2009. She began her career in health care right after graduating high school as a nursing assistant in Oncology. Here is where she developed for her passion for patient-centered care. Since that time, Kirsten has nearly 15 years’ experience in nursing care in various levels of nursing starting as a nursing assistant, working as an LPN, and then advancing to her RN. She has worked in Oncology, Telemetry, and Geriatrics prior to starting her dialysis experience. Once she started working with dialysis patients she developed a passion for caring for this community. She has been working with this community for nearly 7 years. As a charge nurse she clearly demonstrated compassion for this community and strived to deliver the highest quality care and hopes to continue this dedication in a management role.
