What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated registered nurse with over ten years of experience across various healthcare settings, including hospitals and research facilities. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of San Agustin, and I have since honed my skills in patient care, research coordination, and clinical trials. I am registered in both the Philippines and New York, USA, which has equipped me with a broad perspective on healthcare practices.

Throughout my career, I have taken on roles such as Research Study Coordinator and Hotline Nurse, where I managed research protocols and provided essential patient support during critical times, including the COVID-19 pandemic. My strong interpersonal skills and ability to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams have been pivotal in ensuring smooth operations and high-quality patient care. I am passionate about continuous learning and am eager to contribute to a community that values innovation and excellence in healthcare.
