What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to grow in a supportive environment, focusing on patient-centered care and professional development.

I am a passionate registered nurse currently working at UPMC Williamsport, where I am honing my skills in inpatient obstetrics. My journey in nursing began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The Pennsylvania State University, where I was recognized on the Dean's List. I have a strong foundation in biobehavioral health and psychology, which enhances my patient interactions and care delivery.

Throughout my nursing career, I have gained extensive experience in various clinical settings, including labor and delivery, postpartum care, and NICU. I am trained to manage complex patient needs, including multiple concurrent infusions and obstetrical emergencies. My commitment to continuous learning is evident as I work towards board certification in obstetrics and have completed several certifications, including ACLS and NRP.

In addition to my clinical expertise, I have been actively involved in leadership roles within my college, contributing to organizations such as Sigma Alpha Pi and Psi Chi. I believe in the importance of education and collaboration in nursing, and I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to all my patients.
