What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead emergency and clinical care, contribute to public health programs, mentor staff, and work in collaborative, quality-focused teams.

I am a Bachelor of Science Nurse/Registered Nurse with over 10 years' experience across hospital and humanitarian settings, including United Nations–style clinic administration and emergency medical response. I specialize in emergency and pediatric nursing, primary health care, disaster response, program planning, and public health activities, and I hold training in ACLS, BLS and PHTLS while pursuing an MPH.

I have coordinated medical evacuations and 24-hour emergency responses, led clinic administration duties, contributed to quality-improvement initiatives that reduced readmissions, and trained junior nurses in clinical skills. I am proficient in Microsoft Office, experienced with electronic health records, and committed to promoting health, preventing disease, and delivering compassionate, evidence-based patient care.
