What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my clinical expertise and leadership skills in a supportive and innovative environment.

I am a dynamic and compassionate healthcare leader with over 20 years of progressive nursing experience and more than 15 years in management. My expertise lies in leading interdisciplinary teams, optimizing clinical operations, and driving quality care initiatives. I have a proven ability to oversee complex staffing, budgeting, and risk management processes, ensuring that patient care is always at the forefront of our operations.

Currently, I work as a Wound Care Nurse at the Rehabilitation Center of South Georgia, where I provide direct patient care for active and new wounds. Additionally, I am the Owner and Operator of Caregiver Relief Solutions, LLC, where I manage business development, marketing, and compliance with healthcare standards. My role as Practice Manager at Georgia Sports Medicine has allowed me to lead a multidisciplinary team, improve clinic workflow efficiency by 30%, and implement employee engagement programs that reduced turnover by 25%. I am actively seeking opportunities in Utilization Review or executive leadership to leverage my clinical and operational expertise in a remote or hybrid setting.
