What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with nearly a decade of clinical experience, specializing in high-acuity patient care within intensive care units. My journey in nursing has equipped me with the skills necessary to provide exceptional care to critically ill patients, ensuring their safety and comfort during challenging times. I hold a valid U.S. RN license and am certified in both Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support.

Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse healthcare settings, including Providence Medical Center in Kansas City, where I currently deliver complex care to critically ill patients. My role involves collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to develop tailored care plans and engaging in patient and family education to facilitate smooth transitions and recovery. My experience also spans international borders, having worked in the UAE, where I coordinated care for medically complex patients, ensuring compliance with infection control standards and addressing cultural sensitivities.
