What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth while contributing to patient care and education.

I am an experienced and goal-oriented medical professional with a strong background as a Registered Nurse and Paramedic. My career has been dedicated to providing exceptional care in high-pressure environments, including Trauma ER, Emergency Room, and Intensive Care Unit settings. I excel at building long-term relationships with hospital staff and EMS personnel, ensuring effective communication and coordination with patients and team members, even in challenging situations.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my skills in nursing assessment, emergency preparedness, and trauma care. As the Trauma Injury Prevention and Outreach Coordinator at Fort Walton Beach Medical Center, I successfully evaluated trauma data to create prevention programs and provided essential education to nursing staff. My experience as an instructor and owner of American Medical Education, Training, & Standby LLC has allowed me to share my knowledge with both professionals and laypersons, emphasizing the importance of first aid and lifesaving techniques.

I am passionate about improving patient outcomes and continuously seek opportunities to enhance my skills and contribute to the medical community. I am eager to leverage my extensive experience and dedication to patient care in a new role that challenges me and allows for professional growth.
