What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered nursing role where I can apply clinical skills, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and grow professionally in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with experience across medical-surgical, oncology, and endoscopy settings, committed to delivering safe, evidence-based care and strong patient education. I collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams, perform thorough assessments, manage medications and wound care, and respond quickly in emergencies to support positive patient outcomes.

I have progressive clinical experience from bedside nursing to procedural support, with strengths in critical thinking, clear communication, and continuous professional growth. My background includes donor care and phlebotomy, and I hold nursing degrees that underpin my clinical practice and commitment to quality patient-centered care.
