What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters professional growth, values teamwork, and prioritizes patient-centered care.

I am a dedicated and highly skilled Registered Nurse (RN, BSN) with over 10 years of experience delivering patient-centered care across both remote and in-person settings. My expertise lies in care coordination, chronic disease management, and telehealth services, where I have successfully engaged vulnerable populations through motivational interviewing and holistic care planning. I am passionate about advancing healthcare equity and innovation while maintaining a compassionate and outcomes-focused approach.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant improvements in patient outcomes, including a 25% enhancement in A1C control among enrolled members over 12 months. I have led teams in high-acuity settings, implemented structured discharge planning, and served on critical response teams during the COVID-19 pandemic. My clinical foundation is robust, with experience in primary care, inpatient and outpatient settings, and specialized areas such as psychiatry and dialysis care.

As a mentor and leader, I have precepted numerous new RNs and nursing students, promoting clinical excellence and staff retention. I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth, always striving to provide the highest quality of care to my patients.
