What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers leadership opportunities, fosters teamwork, and allows for professional growth in nursing management.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 30 years of experience in the healthcare field, specializing in wound care management and patient care. My journey has been marked by a commitment to quality care and customer service, ensuring that patients receive the best possible outcomes. Currently, I serve as the Wound Care Manager at Salem Health, where I oversee multiple departments and lead a team of healthcare professionals to meet regulatory standards and patient needs.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have allowed me to develop a comprehensive skill set. From managing infusion clinics to collaborating with interdisciplinary teams for safe patient discharges, I have consistently focused on process improvements and staff development. My experience as a Certified Fitness Instructor also reflects my passion for promoting health and wellness in the community.

As I continue my professional journey, I am eager to embrace new challenges and expand my knowledge in nursing leadership and management. I believe in the importance of continuous learning and strive to enhance the quality of care provided to patients.
