What I'm looking for

I seek roles providing clinical leadership, diverse acute-care experience, opportunities to mentor staff, and chances to advance global health impact.

I am a Registered Nurse with 6.5 years of bedside experience across diverse acute-care and community settings, including travel nursing and international contract work. I deliver high-quality, patient-centered care, conduct thorough assessments, implement safe medication administration, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to improve health outcomes.

I have managed complex cardiac and step-down patients, served as a charge nurse and preceptor, and advocated for underserved populations, including the Māori community in New Zealand. I hold a BSN, Progressive Care certification, ACLS and BLS, and I am dedicated to continuing education and leadership in global health.
