Experienced Family Nurse Practitioner dedicated to patient-centered care.

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to utilize my expertise in patient care while fostering a collaborative environment focused on continuous improvement and education.

As a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in emergency and post-acute care, I have honed my skills in providing high-quality medical interventions and managing complex patient needs. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Illinois. I have worked in various capacities, including as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner at Freeport Hospital, where I deliver critical care and collaborate closely with physicians to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to reducing hospital readmissions and improving patient care through effective communication and collaboration. My role as a Clinical Instructor at Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing allowed me to mentor the next generation of nurse practitioners, further solidifying my passion for education and leadership in the nursing field. I am also proficient in Spanish, which enhances my ability to serve diverse patient populations.
