What I'm looking for

I seek community-focused nursing roles delivering primary, maternal-child, and chronic care, with opportunities to lead outreach and homecare programs, grow clinically and managerially, and work in a collaborative, patient-centered organization that values training and impact.

I am a Registered Nurse with a solid background in clinical care, community health, and telehealth services, passionate about improving patient outcomes through both in-person and remote healthcare delivery. My career has included providing patient assessments, administering treatments, and offering health education in diverse settings, from local clinics to virtual consultations.

Beyond bedside care, I have expertise in medical research, report writing, and health content creation, enabling me to bridge the gap between clinical knowledge and public health communication. I’ve contributed to evidence-based projects, patient education materials, and medical documentation that have supported both healthcare teams and patient understanding.

I am adaptable, detail-oriented, and technology-savvy, skilled in using EMR systems, telemedicine platforms, and remote monitoring tools. My interests include public health advocacy, global healthcare access, and continuous professional development—with a special focus on innovations that make quality healthcare more accessible in underserved communities.
