What I'm looking for

I seek a role advancing clinical psychiatric care—where I can lead, educate staff, provide evidence-based treatment, and grow toward Nurse Practitioner responsibilities in a collaborative, patient-centered setting.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse with nine years of clinical experience delivering evidence-based care to people with mental health and substance use disorders. I specialize in psychiatric assessment, medication management, crisis intervention, and therapeutic care across acute, correctional, and long-term care settings.

I have held roles from staff RN to clinical team leader and nurse educator, developing and implementing comprehensive treatment and care plans while collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to improve patient-centered outcomes. I have experience in telemetry, neuro med-surg, addiction recovery, and correctional psychiatric care, and I have supervised nursing teams in skilled nursing facilities.

I am committed to promoting patient autonomy, educating staff on best practices, and advancing quality mental health care. I am completing a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner program (anticipated graduation June 2026) to expand my clinical impact.
