What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a patient-centered nursing role to lead restorative care programs, apply MLD-C skills, mentor clinical staff, and contribute to a collaborative team focused on measurable patient outcomes and professional growth.

I am a Registered Nurse (MLD-C) and CEO/co‑founder of a restorative nursing practice, focused on patient-centered care and manual lymphatic drainage certification. I bring a blend of clinical skill and practice leadership.

My clinical experience includes serving as a Registered Nurse with Wellpath in the Department of Corrections and completing a nursing internship at St. Thomas Midtown Hospital. I transitioned into nursing after several years teaching science and math, which strengthened my education and mentorship abilities.

I combine restorative therapy certification, hands-on clinical practice, and classroom instructing to improve patient outcomes and staff competency. I seek opportunities to lead restorative care programs, mentor colleagues, and deliver compassionate, evidence-based nursing.
