What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage my clinical documentation and record-review skills, with clear deadlines, collaborative teams, and opportunities to impact patient outcomes through evidence-based writing.

I am a registered nurse with over 10 years of clinical experience in top-tier UK hospitals, now providing doula and lactation consultancy services in Portugal and online. I have led multidisciplinary teams, coordinated recovery rooms, and supported post-operative pediatric and adult care with a focus on patient advocacy and continuity of care.

My work blends hands-on clinical practice with precise medical communication: I prepare written and verbal educational materials, conduct case reviews and workshops, and manage confidential client records in compliance with healthcare privacy standards.

Trained as a lactation consultant and doula, I deliver consultations and education to families, mentor staff and students, and translate complex clinical information into clear guidance for parents and colleagues.

I am seeking to transition my clinical record-review and documentation skills into the role of Licensed Appeal Writer, applying evidence-based writing to support reversal of denied insurance claims while maintaining meticulous attention to detail and deadline-driven work.
