What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to provide high-quality patient care in a supportive environment, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration.

As a registered nurse with extensive experience in various critical care settings, I am passionate about providing comprehensive patient care. My journey began at Augusta Health, where I honed my skills in the Intensive Care Unit, managing critically ill patients and leading as a charge nurse. My commitment to patient advocacy and holistic care has been a driving force in my career.

Throughout my nursing career, I have worked in diverse environments, including the Cath Lab and Progressive Care Unit. I excel in administering medications, monitoring patients under sedation, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to implement effective care plans. My dedication to continuous learning and professional development is reflected in my academic achievements, including a 3.9 GPA in my nursing program.
