What I'm looking for

I seek CRNA roles in clinical or perioperative settings where I can provide high-acuity anesthesia care, contribute to quality and safety initiatives, and support team-based, patient-centered care.

I am a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist with over twenty years of healthcare experience, skilled in delivering safe, cost-effective anesthesia across subspecialties including general, orthopedics, thoracic, open heart, neurosurgery, pediatrics, obstetrics, trauma, regional, and plastics. I have completed over 800 cases/6000 hours, practiced in university/teaching hospitals, community hospitals, ambulatory centers, children's hospitals, and a naval medical center, and I respond quickly to emergent situations with sound critical thinking and compassionate bedside manner.

I am confident with fiber optics, ultrasound, invasive line placement, non-anesthetic intubations, pre/postoperative assessment, and regional anesthesia techniques (epidural, subarachnoid, peripheral nerve blocks). I have led initiatives in crisis management (massive transfusion, difficult airway, intraoperative emergency), contributed to quality assurance, and provided sole anesthesia coverage in on-call and emergency settings while maintaining licensure and advanced certifications.
