What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in patient care.

I am a self-driven healthcare professional with over 13 years of experience in transforming neurodiagnostics and acute care. My journey has been marked by a commitment to precision, adaptability, and strategic mentorship. I thrive in both independent and collaborative environments, optimizing complex workflows while building resilient, high-performing teams.

Currently, I serve as the Lead Neurodiagnostic Technologist and Night Shift Supervisor at Wellstar North Fulton Hospital, where I direct all overnight EEG operations. My role involves triaging critical care patients and implementing workflow refinements that have significantly reduced review lag and downtime. I am passionate about education and have developed cross-departmental programs that enhance patient safety outcomes and protocol compliance.

Throughout my career, I have cultivated expertise in various neurodiagnostic procedures, from pediatric EEGs to complex intraoperative evaluations. My ability to mentor and guide technologists has been instrumental in fostering a culture of continuous improvement and excellence in patient care. I am now looking to expand my impact through care coordination, leveraging my clinical insight and data fluency to revolutionize patient outcomes at scale.
