What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to leverage my clinical expertise and operational insight in a Supervisor role within Interventional Radiology.

At Texas Health Resources – Interventional Radiology, I lead daily operations and patient flow as Charge Nurse, coordinating consult reviews and case prioritization for diagnostic and interventional procedures.

I serve as the nursing informatics lead and department liaison for EPIC upgrades and workflow optimization. I also function as a circulator, coordinating procedural readiness and documentation.

At Draeger Medical, I led implementation of anesthesia documentation systems across hospital systems and delivered training for OR and PACU staff.

Earlier, I cared for surgical, trauma, and neuro patients in critical care at Texas Health Resources and Ben Taub General Hospital. I also served as a Versant preceptor and EPIC super user.
