What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered clinical role in a collaborative healthcare team with opportunities to lead care coordination and improve outcomes.

I am a confident, compassionate, and team-oriented Registered Nurse licensed in Michigan and Ohio, with broad clinical experience across surgical, perioperative, orthopedic, medical-surgical, and occupational health settings.

I have repeatedly delivered high-quality, evidence-based nursing care including pre- and post-operative management, wound care, IV therapy, triage, and medication administration while emphasizing patient and family education.

My background includes charge nurse responsibilities, care coordination, medical chart review, discharge planning, and participation in interdisciplinary care conferences to support seamless transitions and improved outcomes.

I seek to contribute to a dynamic healthcare team where I can apply critical thinking, strong communication, and clinical expertise to advance patient-centered care and continuous improvement.
