What I'm looking for

I seek telehealth-forward nursing roles that leverage remote triage and monitoring skills, prioritize patient education, and offer growth in digital care coordination.

I am a Registered Nurse with three years of clinical experience and a BSc Nursing (First Class Hons.) from the University of the West Indies, Mona. I am currently registered with the Nursing Council of Jamaica and practice in medical, surgical, burns and gynaecology units.

I have successfully transitioned to telehealth roles, providing virtual triage, remote patient monitoring and post-operative discharge education, contributing to measurable improvements in outcomes such as a reported 15% reduction in readmission rates.

My clinical practice emphasizes accurate documentation and data management; I manage clinical data for daily patient cohorts using Hospital Information Management Systems, maintaining compliance with privacy regulations and high standards of recordkeeping.

I combine technical proficiency with strong soft skills — empathy, crisis management by phone, and leadership — and uphold patient-centered care through assessment, individualized care planning, and patient education.
