What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical leadership role focused on infection prevention and quality assurance where I can lead nursing teams, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve patient outcomes.

I am a Licensed Practical Nurse with broad clinical and leadership experience across long-term care, acute oncology, and public-health settings, including roles in infection prevention, clinical management, and quality assurance. I have led nursing teams, overseen clinical operations, submitted public-health reports to state agencies, and managed weekly reporting to the CDC/NHSN.

My hands-on skills include medication administration (PO, IM, SQ, intradermal, ophthalmic, NG/G-tube), wound and ostomy care, tracheostomy and Foley catheter management, lab/result review, and patient assessment. I hold state LPN licensure (IL, AZ compact), IV certification, CPR certification, and CDC infection preventionist certification, and I am committed to improving patient outcomes through strong clinical oversight and infection-control practices.
