What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth in patient care.

I am a dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with extensive experience in both direct patient care and healthcare technology. My journey in the medical field has equipped me with a unique blend of skills, including effective communication, teamwork, and a deep commitment to patient safety and compassion. I am fluent in English, Russian, and have intermediate proficiency in Spanish, which allows me to connect with a diverse patient population.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed clinical workflows and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to enhance patient care. My recent role as a Nurse Care Navigator at Healthsnap has allowed me to utilize remote patient monitoring technologies, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective care. I pride myself on my ability to assess patient needs accurately and triage urgent cases, demonstrating my strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

In addition to my clinical experience, I have a background in healthcare IT, having worked as an Epic Interface Analyst. This role honed my analytical skills and provided me with insights into the importance of data accuracy in patient care. I am passionate about continuous learning and improvement, always seeking opportunities to enhance the patient experience and contribute positively to my team.
