What I'm looking for

I seek clinical roles where I can coordinate patient care, mentor staff, and improve peri-procedural and dialysis outcomes in a collaborative, education-focused environment.

I am an experienced Registered Nurse with a broad clinical background across gastroenterology, dialysis, perioperative services, and emergency care. I have worked in academic and hospital settings, serving as a clinician, preceptor, and coordinator while maintaining competencies in chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and IV therapies.

In my current role as Advanced Gastroenterology RN Coordinator I assess patient histories, medication profiles, and procedural readiness, ensuring safe preparation for advanced procedures. I have led teams as charge nurse, mentored new staff and students, and supported occupational health and case management activities.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and multiple certifications including BLS/AED/CPR, with proficiency in Cerner and Epic EMR systems. I am committed to patient-centered care, clinical education, and improving procedural safety and outcomes.
