What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in emergency nursing or ED operations where I can improve patient flow, safety, and staff performance while advancing clinical leadership and mental health practice.

I am an experienced emergency department nurse leader with an MSN in Executive Leadership and ongoing PMHNP postgraduate training. I have provided direct critical care, triage, and resuscitation nursing at a major academic medical center since 2012.

As Charge Nurse and Patient Flow Coordinator, I lead multidisciplinary teams, oversee staffing for roughly 27 nurses and multiple support staff, and optimize patient throughput to maintain safe staffing levels and timely placements.

I have driven operational improvements by assisting the Operations Director and Supply Manager on initiatives to increase efficiency, and I have been recognized with department awards including Patient Safety Award (2024) and ED Nurse of the Year (2022).

I hold RN licensure in Pennsylvania, Certified Emergency Nurse (2024–2028), and AHA BLS/ACLS/PALS certifications; I bring military medical experience and a commitment to patient safety, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
