What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values patient-centered care and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a BSN-prepared nurse, I have dedicated my career to enhancing patient care through effective case management and a strong focus on population health. My experience spans various healthcare settings, where I have successfully delivered in-home and remote care to patients, particularly in managing chronic conditions like heart failure. I am passionate about patient engagement and advocacy, striving to empower individuals to take charge of their health.

Throughout my professional journey, I have collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive care and address the social determinants of health that impact patient outcomes. My commitment to quality improvement has led to measurable reductions in hospital readmissions, showcasing my ability to implement evidence-based care plans effectively. I believe in the power of education and communication, which I leverage to foster health literacy and promote self-management among patients and their families.
