What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my nursing expertise in a supportive environment focused on patient-centered care and professional growth.

I am an experienced and compassionate master’s-prepared nurse with over eight years of expertise in rehabilitation, long-term care, skilled nursing, nurse case management, and nurse administration. I achieved Level IV nursing in 2020 and have extensive clinical experience in diabetes management and advanced practice nursing. My proven ability to manage a unit, write and implement policies, and navigate insurance approval processes has allowed me to deliver high-quality patient care across various settings.

Throughout my career, I have led nursing teams in delivering exceptional rehabilitation and long-term care, managing complex cases involving chronic illness and nursing administration. My clinical rotations and immersion experiences with the University of Texas have further enhanced my expertise in advanced nursing techniques and leadership. I am dedicated to improving patient outcomes and have actively participated in research and community service initiatives, including volunteering with the Kidney Foundation.
