What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a pediatric-focused clinical role where I can lead teams, optimize workflows, and deliver safe, family-centered care—using my IV therapy, triage, and EMR skills to support providers and patients.

I’m a Compassionate and dedicated Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) with over 15 years of healthcare experience, including supervisory roles in pediatric and family practice environments. I lead clinical teams, coordinate care, and optimize workflow while staying focused on patient safety and collaborative service.

I bring pediatric patient care expertise in assessments, immunizations, triage, and medication administration. I’m also certified in IV Therapy and CPR/BLS, and I support efficiency through strong documentation and EHR proficiency using Epic and eClinicalWorks.

I’ve supervised clinical and administrative staff as a Team Lead/clinical support leader, managing scheduling, daily clinic flow, referrals, prior authorizations, and patient/family communication. I’m known for conflict resolution, staff mentoring, and clear communication that helps families feel informed and supported.
