What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining pediatric primary care and teaching, where I can mentor students, lead clinical programs, and contribute to quality-driven pediatric services.

I am a board-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with extensive primary care and pediatric specialty experience across outpatient and academic settings. I provide comprehensive well-child care, acute visit management, and individualized care plans for patients from newborn through young adulthood.

My clinical background includes primary care roles, hematology/oncology outpatient care, and ICU nursing earlier in my career, giving me a broad perspective on pediatric health needs and care coordination. I have repeatedly served as a preceptor and mentor for pediatric nurse practitioner students.

As faculty and adjunct instructor, I teach both didactic and clinical courses and have served as lead faculty and compliance coordinator for MSN programs, reflecting my commitment to nursing education and program quality. I have held leadership roles such as committee chairperson and participation in retention and recruitment initiatives.

I hold an MSN (PNP) and a BSN, maintain multiple state RN and CPNP licenses, and current BLS certification. My accomplishments include clinical awards and nominations recognizing excellence in pediatric nursing and student mentorship.
