What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused nursing role with opportunities for leadership, clinical growth, and collaborative, safety-driven care environments.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with hands-on experience in acute care, outpatient settings, and nursing supervision. I have provided direct patient care, administered medications and vaccinations, led quality improvement initiatives, and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to develop individualized care plans while maintaining accurate EHR documentation.

I bring leadership experience as a Registered Nurse Supervisor, implementing policies, ensuring infection-control compliance, and guiding staff during emergencies. My clinical strengths include medication administration, phlebotomy, discharge planning, and patient education, supported by BLS, ACLS, and Nurse Licensure Compact credentials.
