What I'm looking for

I seek perioperative or OR leadership roles that leverage my surgical nursing, trauma expertise, management experience, and openness to travel, in collaborative, patient-focused organizations offering clinical impact and program development opportunities.

I am a registered nurse with perioperative and intraoperative experience since 2004, currently working as a travel operating room nurse. I hold BLS and ACLS certifications and am proficient with EHR systems including Epic, Cerner, and Centriq, and have practiced across trauma, orthopedics, general surgery and numerous specialty cases.

I have led surgical and long-term care departments, planning and directing OR, PACU, pre-op and post-op services while collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to ensure quality, patient-centered care. I bring proven leadership in department management, scheduling, organ procurement coordination and staff development, and seek roles where I can apply clinical expertise and operational oversight.
