What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers professional growth, collaborative teamwork, and opportunities to enhance patient care.

I am a highly motivated Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in nursing, specializing in critical care and urgent care settings. My journey in healthcare has been driven by a passion for providing exceptional patient care, leading teams, and facilitating positive changes in clinical practices. I have a strong background in treating a diverse patient population, from infants to geriatrics, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can make a significant impact on patient outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in acute care, chronic disease management, and emergency response. I have successfully managed complex medical cases, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and performed various procedures, including suturing and foreign body removal. My commitment to continuous learning and professional development is evident in my recent completion of a Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner, which has further equipped me to provide comprehensive care to my patients.

Recognized for my contributions to the field, I was awarded the Charlotte County Nurse of the Year in 2021 and played a pivotal role in establishing a successful open-heart program at Fawcett Hospital. I am now seeking to advance my career further in an APRN role, where I can continue to build upon my expertise and contribute to the health and well-being of my community.
