Resourceful Registered Nurse dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to empower families and improve patient care through collaboration and education.

As a Registered Nurse with 10 years of experience, I am passionate about empowering and educating families, particularly in the care of preterm and term infants, as well as antenatal and postpartum mothers. My journey in nursing has been driven by a commitment to fostering collaborative relationships with healthcare teams to enhance patient outcomes.

Currently, I serve as a Lactation Consultant at HSHS St. Vincent Hospital, where I have conducted over 1,000 individual consultations and developed educational resources for both healthcare providers and parents. My role involves not only providing personalized care plans but also leading breastfeeding educational classes that promote best practices among staff. I have successfully implemented technology solutions to improve charting and communication, ensuring that patient care remains efficient and effective.

Throughout my career, I have held various nursing positions, including in the NICU at HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital, where I provided direct care to critically ill neonates. My experience also includes participating in quality improvement initiatives and managing nursing staff and operations. I am dedicated to continuous learning and improvement, always seeking ways to optimize workflows and enhance patient satisfaction.
