What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a patient-centered acute care role where I can expand telehealth and virtual medicine, deliver evidence-based assessments and treatment plans, and strengthen outcomes through clear education, follow-up care, and collaboration.

I’m a Board-Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP-BC) and Registered Nurse with experience across emergency, acute, and telehealth care. I manage a high-volume caseload while providing patient-centered care for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.

My work strongly emphasizes virtual medicine, virtual assessments, and evidence-based treatment planning. I prescribe medications and develop treatment plans in accordance with state NP regulations, while delivering clear patient education, follow-up care, and documentation to support continuity of care.

Before my APRN role, I built a solid foundation in fast-paced, high-acuity settings, including emergency and post-anesthesia recovery care in vascular surgery. I monitored vital signs, managed pain, performed rapid patient assessments and interventions, and collaborated with physicians, trauma teams, and multidisciplinary staff to optimize patient outcomes.
