I deliver remote triage, telehealth, and inpatient nursing care across complex clinical settings.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently providing remote triage care with Fenway Health and Mass General Brigham, assessing symptoms, assigning acuity, and directing patients to the appropriate level of care.
At Boston Medical Center, I conduct patient assessments, adapt care plans, manage emergencies, and partner with interdisciplinary teams to support patient-centered care.
Previously, at Beth Israel Lahey Health at Home, I coordinated cardiac monitoring, remote assessments, telehealth visits, and timely escalation of critical cardiac events.
I've also worked as a travel nurse with Aya Healthcare across Massachusetts, Florida, and Maryland in ortho-trauma, stepdown, COVID-19, medical-surgical, and neuro stepdown settings. I bring more than eight years of nursing experience and a focus on patient education, advocacy, clinical documentation, and compassionate care.
