What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented, compassionate registered nurse (MSN, RN) with extensive experience across emergency, ambulatory, and hospital operations, including Level 1 trauma centers and cruise-ship medicine. I have led patient throughput initiatives, coordinated multidisciplinary teams, implemented evidence-based protocols, and maintained strong familiarity with EPIC and Cerner electronic health records.
My career highlights include serving as Patient Throughput Coordinator at a major university hospital, supporting large-scale pandemic responses, organizing ambulatory clinic accreditation, and mentoring student nurses.
