Nicole Colon

I am a results-driven healthcare professional with over 18 years of clinical and administrative experience, specializing in surgical technology and materials management. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in cross-functional coordination, vendor relations, compliance, and process optimization within fast-paced environments. I am currently pursuing certifications in Project Management and Business Analysis, aiming to transition into leadership roles focused on strategic execution and operational improvement.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed vendor relationships and implemented cost-saving procurement strategies as a Materials Manager at Bergen Passaic Cataract Surgery & Laser Center. I developed emergency contingency protocols to ensure uninterrupted material flow and led readiness efforts for AAAHC accreditation and state inspections. My experience as a Surgical Technologist has equipped me with the skills to prepare sterile surgical environments, assist with patient positioning, and support complex ophthalmic procedures, ensuring optimal patient outcomes through collaboration with interdisciplinary teams.
