What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience in case management, care coordination, and home health leadership. My career has been marked by a commitment to improving patient outcomes through the development of individualized care plans and a focus on regulatory compliance. I have successfully managed complex patient populations across various settings, including managed care and community health, demonstrating my ability to adapt and thrive in diverse environments.
Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my collaborative leadership style, mentoring nursing staff, and streamlining service delivery to enhance care quality. My role as a Senior RN Care Manager at Buckeye Health Plan allowed me to manage high-acuity Medicaid members, where I developed person-centered care plans and led interdisciplinary care rounds. I am passionate about utilizing evidence-based practices to optimize patient care and am actively pursuing a leadership or utilization review role to further contribute to this mission.
