What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles in home health, palliative care, or hospice that prioritize quality improvement, staff education, and patient-centered outcomes, offering opportunities for professional growth and strategic impact.

I am a Doctorate-prepared family nurse practitioner with a strong background in higher education, clinical research, and frontline nursing across home health, palliative care, and hospice.

I have led clinical teams and quality initiatives that advanced a home health program to a 5-star agency, managed approximately 60 field staff, developed new-hire training, and implemented quarterly performance improvement plans using PDSA cycles to improve outcomes.

I provide direct patient care including comprehensive geriatric and adult assessments, wound care, IV maintenance, and crisis management, and I educate CNAs and RNs; I am seeking leadership opportunities that advance quality, education, and patient-centered care.
