ABOUT SOPHIA KAWAGUCHI
I am a registered nurse with my Bachelor of Science in nursing. I am seeking opportunities to further my career in ambulatory care nursing. I bring 6 years of nursing experience including primary care in a college health setting and acute care on a cardiac step down unit. I am passionate about serving my community in the outpatient setting and providing holistic, compassionate, patient centered care that empowers healthy choices. I\'ve explored several passions outside of nursing throughout my career including studying global leadership and dialogue, humanistic education, deepening cultural understanding through living in japan, and supporting others with career advancement through recruiting. These unique experiences continue to inform my nursing practice and how much I enjoy being able to care for the whole person in an ambulatory care setting.
