What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior clinical leadership roles focused on care coordination, medical necessity review, and implementation of digital clinical platforms that value evidence-based practice, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to mentor and improve quality.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse and Paramedic with 20+ years of experience across emergency services, nursing, and healthcare operations. I specialize in clinical review, care coordination, and managed care to support high-quality, cost-effective treatment.

As a leader, I direct nursing operations and national implementations of clinical technology and digital health platforms, aligning care delivery with evidence-based and regulatory standards. I strengthen documentation quality, compliance, and performance metrics using digital reporting and analytics tools.

My background includes ICU/Telemetry nursing, EMS leadership, clinical training, and development of review processes and training programs that improve interdisciplinary communication and clinical accuracy. I apply clinical judgment to determine appropriate care levels and optimize resource allocation.

I am committed to mentorship, continuous professional development, and leveraging clinical informatics and AI-driven tools to improve patient safety, regulatory compliance, and outcomes across multi-site implementations.
