What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and a supportive team environment focused on patient care.

I am a dedicated nursing professional with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington. My journey in healthcare began with an Associate of General Science from Austin Community College, which laid the foundation for my passion for patient care and surgical assistance. Currently, I work as a Circulator at Dell Seton Medical Center, where I perform critical scrub functions and manage overall nursing care during surgical procedures.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in various roles, including as an OR Nurse Intern and Patient Care Technician. My responsibilities have included monitoring patient conditions, preparing operating rooms, and assisting with surgical tasks. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with both patients and healthcare teams, ensuring a high standard of care and patient safety.

With certifications in Basic Life Support and proficiency in various computer applications, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a dynamic healthcare team that values patient-centered care and innovation.
