What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters professional growth and values teamwork in patient care.

I am a dedicated and ambitious nurse currently working at Ascension Sacred Heart in Pensacola, Florida. My experience as a Circulator has allowed me to develop a strong foundation in perioperative nursing care, where I follow facility standards and coordinate care throughout surgical procedures. I take pride in establishing care plans and ensuring acute patient care, always striving to enhance my skills and knowledge in a dynamic healthcare environment.

Before my nursing career, I successfully owned and operated Kidsnasium, where I managed facility operations and staff, creating a profitable business model that I sold in 2015. My diverse background also includes roles in business development and academic advising, where I honed my skills in contract management, market research, and developing operating procedures. I believe that my varied experiences contribute to my holistic approach to patient care and teamwork in the healthcare setting.
