What I'm looking for

I’m seeking patient-facing clinical roles in acute care or home health with leadership opportunities, strong training, collaborative teams, and clear safety protocols. I am willing to relocate and hope to grow toward an RN role.

I am a dedicated phlebotomist and healthcare professional with experience in Level 3 trauma hospitals, inpatient critical care areas, and home health settings. I have collected over 80 accurate full specimens per shift, managed STAT orders, and performed blood bank and blood culture procedures while ensuring strict infection-control standards.

As a former restaurant manager with 10+ years of management experience, I bring staff training, SOP development, and operational leadership to clinical teams. I am pursuing an ADN in Nursing and hold certifications including Certified Phlebotomy Technician, BLS, and CPR; I am willing to relocate and seek patient-focused roles that combine clinical skill, communication, and compassionate care.
