What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to advance psychiatric care and build strong patient relationships.

As a Registered Nurse with six years of diverse experience, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate care across various settings, including hospice, long-term care, primary care, and community-based behavioral health. My journey has equipped me with a robust skill set, allowing me to effectively manage patient needs from newborns to the elderly. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), aiming to enhance psychiatric care for underserved populations.

Throughout my professional experience, I have demonstrated my ability to deliver patient-centered care while collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. My role as a Unit Manager involved overseeing a high-acuity long-term care unit, where I ensured regulatory compliance and continuity of care. I have also provided compassionate end-of-life care as a Hospice Case Manager, where I focused on maintaining dignity and comfort for patients and their families. My commitment to nursing is driven by a desire to build lasting rapport with patients and contribute meaningfully to the communities I serve.
