I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over nine years of experience in nursing, training, and development. My expertise lies in unit floor nursing, virtual nursing, and facilitating training programs that enhance patient care outcomes. I am recognized for my optimistic approach to engaging and motivating both patients and staff, ensuring a collaborative environment that fosters the best possible healthcare experiences.

Currently, I serve as a Virtual Nurse, where I ensure high-quality healthcare services by collaborating with nursing staff and addressing complex patient concerns in real-time. My role involves coaching and mentoring frontline staff, participating in quality improvement projects, and utilizing advanced healthcare technologies like EPIC and Cerner.
