What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine bedside nursing judgment with evidence-based education and content—building NCLEX-style materials, improving safety protocols, and supporting rigorous peer-reviewed medical information.

I’m a BSN-prepared Registered Nurse (4.0 GPA) specializing in metacognitive analysis and the breakdown of complex clinical logic. I’m known for developing high-level NCLEX-style assessments and evaluating clinical safety protocols to keep care—and content—sound.

As a Nursing Tutor at Pueblo Community College, I authored original practice assessments and item-writing for Med-Surg and Pharmacology, maintaining a 100% student pass rate. I also facilitated complex reasoning sessions on prioritization, delegation, and patient safety, then audited materials against NGN standards and the latest clinical guidelines.

Clinically, I’ve delivered data-driven care in high-volume and high-acuity settings. At Durango Urgent Care, I interpreted diagnostics and performed rapid chart reviews to support triage and emergency response while maintaining 100% integrity in electronic health record documentation.

Across my Med Surg and family medicine experience, I synthesized EHR and diagnostic data to develop and execute evidence-based care plans, with a strict focus on medication safety, wound care protocols, HIPAA compliance, and infection control. I bring the same rigor to training AI models to produce accurate, evidence-based medical content through peer review and logic validation.
