What I'm looking for

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

I am an experienced and results-driven registered nurse with over 20 years of progressive responsibility in clinical care, staff supervision, and patient advocacy. My proven track record includes optimizing clinic workflows, supporting interdisciplinary teams, and providing high-quality, patient-centered care in neurology, pediatrics, and developmental disabilities.

Currently, I serve as a Clinical Leader in the Neurology Clinic at Upstate University, where I supervise daily operations for over 60 neurology providers and lead a dedicated team to ensure efficient patient flow. My strong skills in triage, medication management, and telemedicine have been recognized, and I am passionate about mentoring new team members to foster a collaborative environment.
