Experienced cardiac nurse educator and MCS coordinator optimizing patient outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I am a compassionate, detail-oriented registered nurse (MSN-Ed, RN, VAD-C) with over nine years of progressive clinical experience in cardiac and mechanical circulatory support across acute, progressive, and access coordination settings. I am recognized for multidisciplinary collaboration, patient education, clinical leadership, and contributions to the field as a contributing author on mechanical circulatory support coordination.
I have led inpatient and outpatient management of patients with durable and temporary circulatory support devices, developed and delivered staff and community education programs, and supported hybrid remote workflows for medical record review and scheduling. I seek to advance evidence-based practice and mentorship in both academic and clinical environments while optimizing transitions of care and patient outcomes.
