What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote healthcare, clinical operations, patient support, medical-records, care-coordination, or health-technology work where I can apply clinical judgment, record review, patient advocacy, documentation, and remote collaboration.

I’m a Registered Nurse with approximately 15 years of critical-care experience, along with medical-surgical/telemetry, Veterans healthcare support, and remote public-health experience. My background has given me strong skills in clinical judgment, documentation, care coordination, patient communication, problem solving, and working independently in remote environments.

I’m particularly interested in remote healthcare, clinical operations, patient support, health-tech, and startup opportunities where I can combine my clinical background with technology and innovation. I enjoy learning and experimenting with AI and no-code tools, and I built a caregiver-focused Alzheimer’s symptom progression app using Lovable and ChatGPT to address a real caregiving need.

I’m especially drawn to roles where healthcare experience, curiosity, adaptability, and practical problem solving can contribute to better processes, products, or patient experiences.
