What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in emergency or acute care where I can optimize patient flow, mentor staff, and drive operational improvements within a collaborative, safety‑focused organization.

I am a clinical nursing leader with progressive experience overseeing emergency department operations and throughput. I currently serve as Clinical Director, responsible for scheduling, staffing, budget, and hiring for a 101‑bed emergency department.

I have hands‑on critical care and trauma experience, including critical care transport managing intra‑aortic balloon pumps, Swan‑Ganz catheters, and ventilated patients. I earned the DAISY Team Award (2023), belong to Sigma Theta Tau, and hold multistate and New York RN licenses plus ACLS, PALS, and BLS certifications.

I prioritize patient safety, staff development, and measurable operational improvements, and I lead teams to meet organizational goals while ensuring high‑quality care.
