What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Neonatal Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in providing comprehensive care for infants with varying degrees of illness. My journey in nursing began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Baylor University, and I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice. My professional experience includes working at Texas Children’s Hospital, where I manage a caseload of patients, utilizing advanced practice knowledge to deliver high-quality care.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated effective communication skills, serving as an educational resource for families and healthcare professionals alike. I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to ensure optimal patient outcomes, particularly in high-stakes environments such as the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. My commitment to continuous learning and applying new knowledge to clinical practice has been a cornerstone of my professional ethos.
