What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered role in pediatric or home health settings where I can apply clinical skills, collaborate with teams, and advance toward FNP practice.

I am a dedicated registered nurse with experience in pediatric and adult home health care, strong communication, and a proven record of collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to improve patient outcomes. I hold a BSN and a background in public health, and I am currently advancing my clinical expertise as a Family Nurse Practitioner candidate.

I bring hands-on experience in medication administration, infection control, patient and caregiver education, electronic health records, and quality improvement initiatives. My practice emphasizes empathy, reliability, HIPAA-compliant documentation, and practical problem-solving to ensure safe, evidence-based care at home.
