What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue delivering evidence-based, patient-centered pediatric care—supporting families, managing whole-child needs, and coordinating referrals—while growing into Pediatric Primary Care Mental Health through my PMHS certification.

I provide comprehensive pediatric care with 16 years of nursing experience across inpatient, outpatient, newborn, urgent care, and emergency settings. I’m skilled in pediatric assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, preventive care, newborn procedures, and patient/family education—creating a supportive, comfortable environment for children and families.

In my current roles, I conduct well-child exams and developmental screenings, manage common adolescent concerns (including ADHD, anxiety, and depression), and support adolescent reproductive health. I also provide well-supported contraceptive care, including Nexplanon counseling and insertion/removal, while working in the EPIC electronic health record system and coordinating specialty referrals; I’m also pursuing Pediatric Primary Care Mental Health Specialist (PMHS) certification.
