What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my nursing skills in a supportive environment, focusing on patient-centered care and professional growth.

As a dedicated registered nurse with extensive experience in psychiatric care, I have honed my skills in various settings, including emergency departments and inpatient units. My journey began with an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing from Delaware Technical Community College, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Wilmington University, and culminating in a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, which I completed in August 2024.

Currently, I serve as a Nurse Case Manager at Highmark Health Options, where I leverage my expertise to provide comprehensive care and support to patients. My previous roles at Christiana Hospital and Northeast Treatment Centers have equipped me with a deep understanding of mental health challenges and the importance of compassionate care. I am also proud to be a member of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, which reflects my commitment to excellence in the nursing profession.
