What I'm looking for

I seek roles in perioperative nursing where I can apply my circulating experience, collaborate with surgical teams, grow clinically through certifications, and contribute to patient-centered, team-oriented care.

I am a Registered Nurse with over eight years of perioperative and circulating experience across multiple surgical specialties, licensed to practice in Michigan and Arizona. I excel at advocating for patients, coordinating care between OR teams and surgeons, and independently managing clinical priorities in fast-paced environments.

I continuously pursue professional development through committee work, advanced certifications, and training in electronic charting systems like Cerner and Epic. My background includes strong communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills developed both in healthcare and earlier roles in regional management and field sales.
