What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and allows me to make a meaningful impact on patient care.

I am a dedicated registered nurse with extensive experience in providing comprehensive patient care across various healthcare settings. My journey in nursing began with a strong educational foundation, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from South University. I have honed my skills in patient advocacy, wound care, and crisis management, ensuring that I deliver the highest quality of care to my patients.

Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse roles, including oncology and PCU nursing, where I collaborated with healthcare teams to develop and implement effective care plans. My experience as a travel nurse during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed me to contribute significantly to vaccination efforts while providing critical care in high-acuity environments. I am passionate about patient education and strive to empower individuals and their families through knowledge and support.
