What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered RN role in oncology or med-surg where I can coordinate care, improve end-of-life comfort, apply evidence-based practices, and support multidisciplinary teams.

I am a registered nurse with over a decade of med-surg/telemetry experience and more than five years as an oncology care coordinator, with service in the U.S. Navy and an RN-BSN degree. I specialize in chemotherapy administration, central line access, complex post-op care and patient triage.

As a clinic coordinator and nurse navigator I have coordinated multidisciplinary care, integrated clinical research into practice, and supported patients from diagnosis through survivorship and end-of-life care. I bring strong communication, attention to detail, and a commitment to evidence-based practice to every clinical setting.

I am driven to enhance patient comfort, advocate for patients and families, and contribute to teams that prioritize safety, compassion and continual learning.
