What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can advance patient safety, reduce infections, and build accountable, high-trust teams. I want to use evidence-based nursing and strong compliance practices to improve outcomes, support staff development, and drive continuous process improvement.

I’m a healthcare leader with 2 5 years of health care experience, focused on building high-performing interdisciplinary teams and strengthening patient safety. I lead with an ethical, inclusive, and evidence-based approach that prioritizes clinical integrity and professional development.

In my current role as Director of Progressive Care Unit (PCU), I’ve driven operational improvements through ANA Daily Huddle Best Practices to enhance communication and collaboration. I led TJC workflow evaluation and compliance initiatives, ensuring alignment with accreditation standards with no major findings, and I recovered over $10,000 in equipment through a storeroom evaluation of PAR stock.

I also focus heavily on compliance and resource stewardship—maintaining 100% compliance with narcotic and controlled substances “pyxis to patient,” reducing incidental overtime by 25%, and improving break compliance by 40%. Within the first 90 days, I improved scheduling compliance and increased Press Ganey Scores 25% through targeted interventions, while supervising 109 direct report employees.

Previously, as a Patient Care Coordinator, Managing Director Critical Care Nursing Services at Kuakini Medical Center, I oversaw critical care units with a team of 96 employees and managed assets exceeding $5 million. I led a successful Cerner EHR upgrade, reduced CAUTI rates by 8% and CLABSI rates by 5% within six months, and achieved a 50% reduction in Foley catheter usage in PCU/Telemetry units—while also supporting interdisciplinary collaboration. Alongside leadership, I teach as a Clinical Lecturer, guiding students in clinical skills, critical thinking, and risk management through simulation labs and mentorship.
