What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply trauma and ED expertise to improve patient outcomes, mentor staff, and engage in care navigation within collaborative, quality-driven teams.

I am a Multistate Registered Nurse with 9+ years of trauma and emergency department experience, skilled in rapid assessment, triage prioritization, risk identification, and escalation. I translate clinical expertise into effective patient advocacy and care navigation, working across interdisciplinary teams to optimize patient flow and outcomes.

My background includes longitudinal navigation for Medicare and medically complex patients, CMS-compliant documentation, SDOH assessment, and experience with multiple EHR/EMR platforms and remote care technologies. I have led quality-improvement efforts as a Trauma Council member, served as Charge Nurse, and received recognition such as Employee of the Quarter and clinical excellence awards.
