What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered role leveraging clinical education and research experience, collaborative teams, opportunities to lead training, and to improve care processes and patient outcomes.

I am a Master’s-prepared Registered Nurse with extensive clinical experience across oncology research, orthopedic, cardiac, and medical/surgical settings, including international practice in the United Kingdom. I combine hands-on patient care, protocol management, and financial clearance coordination with a focus on patient assessment, education, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

In leadership and educator roles I have overseen RN residency projects, developed and delivered staff training, supported clinical trials compliance, and served as a super-user for multiple clinical devices and systems. I bring proven achievements in committee leadership, process improvement, and patient-focused communication to drive high-quality care and operational efficiency.
