What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to continue advocating for patients, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration within a supportive healthcare team.

I am a registered nurse with a strong background in evaluations, monitoring, and health assessments. My experience spans various healthcare settings, including oncology and intensive care, where I have developed a keen ability to build rapport with patients and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams. I pride myself on my proactive approach and superior work ethic, ensuring that I provide the highest quality of care to my patients.

Currently, I work at Allegheny Health Network in the Radiation Oncology department, advocating for patients undergoing cancer treatment and educating them and their families about the process. My previous role as a case manager at UPMC Family Hospice Homecare allowed me to manage a diverse patient load, focusing on symptom management and comprehensive care planning. I have also gained valuable experience in critical care settings, where I provided high-quality care to critically ill patients, honing my skills in patient assessment and intervention.

I also have experience as neuro trauma intensive care nurse.
