What I'm looking for

I seek ICU or clinical documentation roles where I can improve patient outcomes, mentor staff, drive documentation quality, and work in collaborative, safety-focused teams.

I am a detail-oriented ICU registered nurse with five years of critical care experience across multiple hospital systems, dedicated to providing exceptional care in high-pressure environments and supporting interdisciplinary teams.

I have a strong track record improving patient outcomes through evidence-based practices for sepsis and ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention, mentoring new nurses, and participating in documentation quality improvement initiatives.

I am committed to patient safety, accurate and compliant clinical documentation, and compassionate family communication while proficiently operating advanced ICU equipment and electronic health record systems.
