What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining acute cardiovascular nursing with clinical informatics to improve workflows, patient safety, and outcomes in collaborative teams.

I am a Registered Nurse with 3.5 years of experience in high-acuity critical care and the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, currently advancing my skills through a Master of Science in Health Informatics. I combine hands-on acute care expertise with a growing focus on data-driven healthcare improvement.

My clinical strengths include hemodynamic monitoring, interventional cardiology support, moderate sedation, IV therapy, and rapid clinical decision-making in complex cardiovascular and post-operative settings. I am experienced with Epic and CPRS documentation and the management of vasopressors, inotropes, and advanced cardiac devices.

I am recognized for trauma-informed care, veteran-centered advocacy, and strong interdisciplinary collaboration, demonstrated through leadership roles such as Unit Practice Council member and Cath Lab president. I have contributed to quality initiatives including hand hygiene leadership and high reliability organization efforts.

I seek roles that allow me to integrate bedside expertise with informatics to improve clinical workflows, patient safety, and outcomes, while continuing professional leadership and education efforts.
