What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can combine clinical expertise and staff development to improve patient outcomes, foster teamwork, and drive quality improvement.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse (BSN, RN) with over 15 years of experience providing evidence-based, patient-centered care across diverse clinical settings. I combine strong clinical judgment, critical thinking, and clear communication to support optimal patient outcomes.

My leadership experience includes charge nurse roles, staff development coordinator, clinical nursing coordinator, and interim Health Services Director, where I supervised teams, managed operations, and ensured compliance with regulations and standards.

I have a proven record in education and mentorship — serving as a clinical nurse educator and adjunct instructor, developing curricula, evaluating learners, and fostering a supportive clinical learning environment.

I am committed to safe, high-quality, cost-effective care, continuous improvement, and collaborating across disciplines to improve patient satisfaction, reduce readmissions, and advance organizational missions and values.
