I am an empathetic and compassionate psychiatric registered nurse with a strong foundation in patient care and psychiatric nursing principles. I prioritize culturally competent, patient-centered care to support recovery and improve outcomes.

In my clinical work I have responded to volatile situations and violent outbreaks to restore safety, closely monitored behaviors, administered medications as prescribed, and intervened during incidents of aggression or self-harm. I have overseen care for suicidal patients and acted swiftly to reduce risk to patients and staff.

My background also includes customer service, clerical support, shipping and receiving, and janitorial work, which sharpened my communication, attention to detail, inventory management, and time-management skills. I developed a cross-training program and enforced safety protocols that increased team flexibility and reduced workplace accidents.

I bring dependable, calm crisis-management skills, strong interpersonal abilities, and a commitment to high-quality, compassionate care; I seek to join a supportive team where I can continue to grow clinically and make measurable improvements in patient safety and wellbeing.
