My work as a peer reviewer for the JDNA over the past year has helped to grow my own sense of professionalism and belonging to the dermatology nursing community, which I have found to be of enormous benefit to my career. I love scholarly writing and gaining knowledge through research, and I am delighted to be contributing to the field of dermatology in ways that extend beyond direct patient care. As a member of the JDNA Editorial Board, I dedicate myself to the advancement of the field of dermatology nursing and its premier publication though authorship, promotion of the journal, mentorship, and peer review.”
