What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my nursing expertise in dialysis and clinical education while fostering a collaborative and patient-centered environment.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with nearly 15 years of experience in various dialysis modalities, including my recent role as a Clinical Program Manager for Home Dialysis. I have successfully overseen over fifty home dialysis patients, ensuring they receive the highest quality of care. My current position as a Senior Clinical Educator allows me to focus on long-term care resiliency, staff development, and quality integration.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to patient-centered care and quality improvement. I have significant experience in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and I am skilled in implementing Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement plans. My leadership in managing home dialysis operations has resulted in top-level quality rankings in our region, showcasing my ability to enhance patient outcomes through education and collaboration.
