What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered nursing role in oncology or acute care where I can apply my infusion, chemotherapy, and critical-care skills, contribute to a collaborative team, and continue professional growth.

I am a Tennessee-licensed Registered Nurse with over 10 years of clinical experience, including 9+ years as a Certified Oncology Infusion Nurse at Tennessee Oncology and prior experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (May 2015) and have worked across medical-surgical, emergency, critical care, pediatrics, and oncology settings where I provided assessments, administered treatments (including chemotherapy), educated patients and families, and maintained meticulous documentation and infection-control standards.

I combine technical competencies—IV/port access, telemetry, medication and chemotherapy administration, sterile-field procedures, and bereavement/supportive care—with strong communication, leadership, and critical-thinking skills developed as a preceptor and frontline oncology RN. I am patient-centered, emotionally resilient, and driven to continue growing professionally while delivering compassionate, evidence-based care.
