What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my healthcare expertise while fostering growth and collaboration in a supportive environment.

With over 7 years of experience in high-pressure healthcare environments, I am a dedicated and client-focused professional transitioning from nursing to new opportunities. My journey has equipped me with exceptional communication skills, crisis management abilities, and a knack for creating calm, welcoming experiences for patients and their families. I thrive in collaborative settings, working cross-functionally with multidisciplinary teams to ensure smooth operations and optimal patient care.

In my current role as an LPN at a cardiometabolic clinic, I manage complex scheduling, oversee revenue management, and coordinate care for diverse patient populations. My leadership skills shine through as I train new staff, interview potential hires, and maintain high standards of practice. Additionally, I have successfully strategized marketing initiatives that contributed to a remarkable 200% growth in clinic revenue. My commitment to continuous education and patient-centered care drives my professional ethos.
