Bilingual registered nurse with clinical OR experience and leadership in healthcare operations and coordination.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) registered nurse with operating room, surgical technologist, and perioperative coordination experience across hospitals and organ procurement agencies. I hold a BSN and additional graduate training in public health and business administration, which I apply to clinical operations and patient-centered care.
My background includes roles as a surgical technologist, surgical coordinator, OR coordinator, and manager in healthcare and transplant settings, with responsibilities spanning sterile technique, organ recovery support, and interdisciplinary communication. I support Hispanic families through translation and interpretation and regularly participate in clinical education and quality initiatives.
As a collaborative, culturally competent clinician and manager, I bring leadership, problem-solving, and strong communication skills. I am a fast learner of new technologies, comfortable working without supervision, and committed to improving patient satisfaction and operational outcomes.
