I have been a nurse for over eight years, starting out as an LPN for two years before becoming a Registered Nurse, which I have now practiced for nearly six years. I have worked in a variety of settings including pediatrics, med surg, home health, psychiatry, and geriatrics, which is truly where my heart is. I recently completed my master’s degree as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. In addition to patient care, I have a strong passion for teaching and love sharing my knowledge and experience to help others grow in their healthcare journey.

Affectionately known as the “Mother” of Blooming Heart School, Ms. Irene is often the first friendly face you’ll see when you walk through our doors. Originally from Jamaica, West Indies, she has called the United States home for many years.
With a background as a nurse and certified midwife, Ms. Irene brings both compassion and experience to her role. In her free time, she loves to cook, bake, and entertain—and trust us, you haven’t truly experienced lime cake until you’ve tried hers!
Known for her warmth, kindness, and ever-present smile, Ms. Irene helps make Blooming Heart feel like home for every student who walks in.
