What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to continue providing compassionate patient care while also offering opportunities for professional growth and collaboration within a supportive healthcare team.

I am a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from North Park University, and I have been working at Northwestern Memorial Hospital since 2018. My experience spans across high-acuity clinical settings, where I have developed a strong passion for helping patients achieve optimal wellness. I pride myself on being a communicative team member, collaborating effectively with patients, doctors, and other care providers to create and implement effective care plans.

Throughout my career, I have managed complex neuro-oncology and neuro-surgical patients, ensuring their safety and well-being during their hospital stays. I have successfully transitioned new graduate nurses into practice as their primary preceptor, demonstrating my commitment to mentorship and professional development. My certifications, including Stroke Certified Registered Nurse and ACLS, further enhance my ability to provide high-quality care and support to my patients.
