About Valerie Ledesma Hankins BSN

I was born and raised in Houston on the east side. Attended Resurrection Catholic School and a current parishioner at St. Andrew Roman Catholic Church in Channelview, TX. I have been a Registered Nurse for 23 years for pediatrics and adults in California and in Texas. The evolution of my nursing career brought me to the University of St. Thomas Houston where I seek to specialize in psychiatric mental health as an advanced practice nurse to further serve our community in mind and spirit.

Why I want to work with Gratia Plena:

What I do for fun!
Enjoy my life! Listening and dancing to music, being silly with my 2 kids, working in the yard with my husband, and interacting with my family and friends!
