What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine RN clinical expertise with clinical documentation review, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance—while supporting patient safety through clear communication, evidence-based standards, and ongoing improvement.

I’m a Registered Nurse with 8 years of diverse clinical experience spanning acute care, cardiovascular nursing, public health, home health, and nursing education. I focus on detail-oriented clinical documentation review—evaluating evidence-based standards, auditing health records, and identifying documentation inconsistencies to strengthen quality and compliance.

In my roles, I’ve reviewed physician orders, laboratory results, medication plans, and patient assessments while maintaining confidential electronic documentation systems (including Epic, Sunrise, and MEDITECH). I also coach learners and support quality improvement through written and verbal feedback, staff education, and regulatory-aligned documentation processes.
