What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my nursing skills in a supportive environment focused on patient care and teamwork.

As a registered nurse with over six years of experience in care coordination, I am passionate about enhancing the well-being of patients and their families. My current role as an RN Care Coordinator at Molina Healthcare has allowed me to develop and implement comprehensive case management plans tailored to individual member needs. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with healthcare professionals to ensure optimal care delivery.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in critical thinking and patient assessment, particularly in high-pressure settings such as the Progressive Care Unit and mental health facilities. My commitment to patient education and support has been instrumental in motivating positive health changes. I am also proficient in various medical procedures, including IV administration and EKG interpretation, which further enhances my ability to provide exceptional care.
