What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers growth opportunities and a supportive team environment.

I am a passionate nursing professional with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Maine in Orono. My career has been enriched by diverse experiences across various healthcare settings, including my current role at Portland Gastroenterology Center, where I provide procedural nursing and bedside care. I thrive in dynamic environments, adapting to the needs of each patient and situation.

Previously, I worked at Eastern Maine Medical Center, where I transitioned from the acute rehabilitation unit to the medical surgical unit. This experience allowed me to develop critical skills in patient care, including administering conscious sedation and managing post-procedure recovery. I take pride in my ability to advocate for patients and ensure their optimal health outcomes, leveraging my strong communication skills and critical thinking abilities.
