To Whom It May Concern:

I have been in long term care since 17 years of age as a nursing assistant.

I have worked in every area, developing and growing in my career as:

CNA>LPN>RN>Manager>Wound Care Nurse>ADON>DON>Nurse Consultant.

During these years I have received my Wound Certification, MDS

certification, and CNA/CMT Instructor certification.

I have very good knowledge of State Regulations and a very proactive

positive approach in every situation.

I have been successful in establishing effective wound programs focusing

foremost on prevention. Along with wound programs, also successful fall

prevention, restraint elimination, weight loss prevention, and reduction of

medications.

I enjoy educating the Nursing staff in these areas as well as providing

personalized care plans for each individual Resident.

I am a proficient educator in the INTERACT 3 program to prevent returns to

hospital. As well as development of QAPI teams in each facility.

I am an advocate of culture change and Resident dignity and rights.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
