What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my nursing expertise to enhance patient education and engagement, while fostering a collaborative and innovative healthcare environment.

I am an experienced and compassionate Registered Nurse with a master’s degree in Nursing Education. My career has been dedicated to improving health outcomes and providing person-centered care through innovative patient support programs. I have a proven track record in patient engagement, education, and support across chronic disease populations, and I excel in simplifying complex medical information to empower patients in managing their health.

As the Owner and Independent Consultant at Kairos Ventures, LLC, I deliver strategic clinical and commercial support to global health and medtech organizations. My recent engagements include providing clinical support for pediatric orthopedic cases and serving as a clinical liaison for international pediatric spine missions. I have also held significant roles at Medacta International and Stryker Spine, where I was responsible for planning and executing educational programs that align with organizational objectives, ensuring high-quality learning experiences for healthcare professionals.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to cross-functional collaboration and effective communication, leveraging my skills in Salesforce, Microsoft Office, and various digital platforms to enhance patient education and engagement strategies. I am passionate about utilizing my expertise to drive positive change in healthcare delivery.
