What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values evidence-based practices and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Utilization Management Nurse with over a decade of nursing experience, including more than five years specializing in utilization management, discharge planning, and case review. My expertise lies in evidence-based care and regulatory compliance, where I utilize my skills to drive quality healthcare outcomes. I have a proven track record of triaging, coordinating, and documenting utilization and benefit management decisions, ensuring optimal resource use and patient safety.

In my current role as a Senior Clinical Research Associate at Thermo Fisher, I lead clinical trial activities while ensuring strict compliance with protocols and regulatory standards. My analytical skills have enabled me to maintain a 100% regulatory compliance rate by addressing data discrepancies and implementing corrective actions. Additionally, my part-time role as a Utilization Management Nurse Consultant at Baptist Health has allowed me to conduct clinical coverage reviews and facilitate appropriate discharge planning, significantly reducing hospital readmissions.
