What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles that leverage high-acuity clinical reasoning and cross-unit flexibility, emphasize patient safety, collaborative teams, and opportunities to refine AI-augmented clinical workflows.

I am a Senior Registered Nurse with extensive experience across high-acuity inpatient settings, float pools, and step-down units, delivering evidence-based care and clear clinical documentation. I specialize in clinical scenario analysis, telemetry interpretation, AI-supported care planning validation, and escalation of complex patient situations.

My background includes roles at Duke University Health System, UNC Chapel Hill, and Beverly Hospital where I provided cross-unit nursing care, served as charge nurse when needed, and integrated AI-generated alerts into clinical workflows. I bring strong interdisciplinary communication, process improvement experience from program leadership, and a consistent focus on patient safety and data-informed decision-making.
