PMHNP-focused nurse practitioner student delivering compassionate, research-informed psychiatric care.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a PMHNP Master of Nursing student at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Nursing, on the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner track. I’m building my clinical and scholarly foundation to deliver safer, more empathetic care through evidence-based practice.
Alongside my graduate training, I work as a pediatric Registered Nurse at UVA Health. I’ve contributed as an RN Clinician I on a Pediatric Acute Care floor, transitioned through the Teen and Young Adult Center, and became a Clinician II—grounding my patient care in real-world teamwork, communication, and clinical readiness.
Earlier, as a Care Partner at VCU Health, I strengthened hands-on clinical fundamentals—performing vital signs, rooming, charting, screenings and questionnaires, 12 lead EKGs, blood glucose and HbA1c tests, and vision and hearing screenings. I also adapted quickly in new clinic settings each shift, supporting high-quality care even in understaffed environments.
I bring leadership and a service-first mindset from my roles as Wellness Chair and a long-term commitment to healthcare learning. I enjoy presentations and research, and I’m motivated by work that helps patients feel supported while advancing outcomes through thoughtful, practiced clinical judgment.
