What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a gastroenterology role where I can deliver evidence-based FNP care, coordinate multidisciplinary treatment, and emphasize patient education—while helping maintain high-quality endoscopy and continuity-of-care standards.

I’m an experienced gastroenterology Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with many years of GI RN experience. I prioritize evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning while keeping patient communication clear and actionable through every visit.

In my current role, I review medical history and laboratory data for abnormalities, maintain accurate documentation in electronic medical records, and manage referrals with informed follow-up. I perform routine diagnostic testing (including EKGs, x-rays, ultrasounds, and advanced imaging), interpret results, prescribe medications, and monitor effectiveness for both acute and chronic conditions.

Previously, as an Indianapolis clinical supervisor and registered nurse, I helped run an extremely busy Level 1 Trauma center endoscopy unit, supporting advanced GI procedures like EGD, colonoscopy, EUS, and ERCP with an average of 40 patients daily. I mentored nursing staff, collaborated across multidisciplinary teams for continuity of care, and strengthened quality systems while maintaining HIPAA confidentiality.
