What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values patient-centered care and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and extensive experience in acute care, patient advocacy, and utilization review. My journey in healthcare has equipped me with the skills to navigate complex systems, optimize medical necessity documentation, and manage appeals effectively. I pride myself on my ability to build strong relationships with providers and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to achieve the best patient outcomes.

Currently, I work as a Remote Utilization Review Nurse, where I conduct medical record reviews and support denial prevention efforts. My previous roles have included working at Planned Parenthood, where I managed patient care and ensured compliance with safety standards, and as a Nurse Entrepreneur, where I developed treatment plans and managed business operations. I am passionate about improving patient care pathways and ensuring optimal resource utilization.
