What I'm looking for

I seek roles in acute care or critical care settings where I can integrate psychiatric-mental health expertise, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and advance patient-centered, evidence-based practice.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with over seven years of critical care experience in Medical ICU and CVICU settings, skilled in managing high-acuity patients and complex clinical situations.

I collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to develop individualized care plans that integrate medical and psychiatric interventions, and I educate patients and families to support safe transitions and improved outcomes.

I maintain strong clinical judgment, emotional intelligence, and adaptability under pressure, hold ACLS and BLS certifications, and am bilingual in English and Spanish—committed to excellence in patient advocacy and evidence-based practice.
