What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered role leveraging care coordination and utilization management skills within a collaborative, value-based organization that supports professional growth and improved outcomes.

I am a Registered Nurse with over six years of clinical experience focused on care coordination, discharge planning, utilization management support, and patient advocacy. I consistently leverage Epic and Cerner electronic health records and telehealth tools to manage complex patient populations, reduce readmissions, and support value-based care initiatives.

I collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams to identify barriers to care, develop and execute safe transition plans, and support population health goals. Bilingual in English and Spanish, I combine strong clinical assessment and documentation skills with a commitment to improving outcomes and operational efficiency.
