What I'm looking for

I seek a direct-care or case management role in a collaborative, trauma-informed organization where I can apply clinical skills, advocate for clients, and grow toward an RN role.

I am a dedicated social worker and Certified Nurse Assistant with over a decade supporting vulnerable populations in long-term care, rehabilitation, and child welfare settings. My experience spans direct patient care, case management, benefits coordination, prior authorization, and supervising residential care operations, grounded in trauma-informed, empathetic practice.

I collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams to ensure client safety and service continuity, maintain accurate documentation in systems like CBMS and EPIC, and consistently advocate for clients to access needed resources. I am returning to healthcare while pursuing an Accelerated BSN program beginning January 2026 to deepen my clinical impact.
