What I'm looking for

I am looking for a position that allows me to grow professionally while providing high-quality patient care in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse with extensive experience in various healthcare settings, including long-term care, rehabilitation, and case management. My journey in nursing began with a strong educational foundation, earning my LPN certification in 2011. I have continually sought to expand my knowledge and skills, thriving in environments that challenge me to grow. My military background as an Aircraft Structural Journeyman has instilled in me a strong work ethic and attention to detail, which I carry into my nursing practice.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to provide high-quality patient care, whether in staffing agencies or clinical settings. I have honed my skills in IV infusions, holistic care, and geriatric homecare, ensuring that I meet the diverse needs of my patients. My role as an Appeals Nurse has further developed my analytical skills, allowing me to navigate complex medical necessity determinations while advocating for patients. I am passionate about delivering exceptional care and am eager to contribute to a healthcare team that shares my commitment to excellence.
