What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a supportive environment that fosters professional growth and allows me to make a meaningful impact in mental health care.

I am a dedicated psychiatric nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Brookline College. My experience spans various clinical settings, including Banner Desert Hospital and Valleywise, where I have honed my skills in patient care and crisis intervention. I am recognized for my ability to establish strong interpersonal relationships with patients and their families, ensuring a supportive environment for recovery.

In my current role at Valley Hospital, I monitor and support adult patients, implementing therapeutic interventions and collaborating with treatment teams to develop effective care plans. My previous experience as a House Manager at Jezzob Behavioral Health allowed me to manage a caseload of patients, overseeing their psychosocial needs and coordinating care with a team of clinical staff. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.
