What I'm looking for

I seek a role in an organization that values healthcare worker well-being and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an experienced nurse leader with a strong commitment to fostering healthcare worker well-being and promoting employee advancement. My diverse clinical skills have been honed through various roles, including my current position as School Health RN Lead III at HealthFirst Bluegrass, where I collaborate with school officials to create impactful health programs.

Previously, I served as a Registered Nurse III at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where I engaged in direct patient care and successfully developed a grassroots volunteer program that scaled nationally. My involvement in community outreach and professional development initiatives has allowed me to advocate for nursing staff and enhance the overall healthcare environment.
