What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused role combining clinical LPN duties and administrative coordination, with opportunities for compassionate care and professional growth.

I am a licensed practical nurse with 15 years of hands-on patient care experience across home health, long-term care, and clinic settings. I combine clinical nursing skills with administrative strengths to ensure patient safety, effective medication management, and coordinated care.

My background includes medication distribution, glucose and diabetes management, telehealth coordination, and intake/referral processing. I have served as an LPN/LVN charge nurse and intake coordinator, leading scheduling, staff training, and case conference preparation.

I am proficient with medical records, insurance verification, Epic/medical office systems, and patient education—skills I applied in both front-office and bedside roles. I emphasize compassion, clear communication, and attention to detail when meeting patient needs.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Human Services and Advocacy and remain open to relocation to Castle Rock, WA. I am authorized to work in the U.S. for any employer and seek roles that leverage my clinical and administrative experience in patient-focused environments.
