## About

```text
At Advocate South Suburban Hospital, I work as a Nursing Professional Development Practitioner for the Observation and Oncology units. I’m also an ambassador for the Together As One Peer Support Program.

I previously worked in the Emergency Department at Advocate South Suburban Hospital, where I was a Relief Charge RN and preceptor to student nurses, new graduate nurses, and new hires. My emergency nursing experience included EZ-IO, US-Guided IV, Radio Nurse, JumpSTART Triage, and Mass Casualty training.

I presented my graduate program quality improvement study, “Fostering A Healthy Work Environment,” at Sigma’s Creating Healthy Work Environments Conference in March 2025. I also provide clinical, biomedical, pharma, and healthcare expertise to improve models for a top AI lab through Mercor Intelligence.
