What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth, collaboration, and innovation in healthcare.

With over 16 years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner, I have dedicated my career to providing high-quality healthcare in various settings, including telehealth and high-growth startups. My expertise spans psychiatric mental health and women's health, allowing me to address a wide range of patient needs effectively.

Currently, I serve as a PMHNP Nursing Instructor at Bradley University, where I teach core courses in an online master's program. My role involves facilitating discussions and providing feedback to students, ensuring they receive a comprehensive education. Additionally, I work with Ria Health, treating patients with alcohol use disorder and contributing to the development of clinical protocols and EHR systems.

Throughout my career, I have consistently managed high-acuity clinical situations and prioritized patient safety. My commitment to mentoring new clinicians and my ability to work independently in remote settings have been key to my success. I am passionate about advancing healthcare practices and improving patient outcomes.
