PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
With over 13 years of experience in healthcare, I am passionate about providing and helping others to provide high-quality care. As a Transplant Coordinator at LiveOnNY since September 2022, I work with a multidisciplinary team to evaluate potential organ donors, coordinate the donation process, educate hospital staff about the donation process, and support and educate the families of donors. I also have extensive experience as a Paramedic Communications Coordinator at Northwell Health, where I coordinate inter-facility transfers, and as both a critical care paramedic and emergency paramedic at various hospitals and fire departments in the New York City area, where I have responded to diverse and complex medical emergencies and high-acuity patient transfers. I have developed strong skills in emergency medicine, critical care medicine, critical thinking, logistics, problem- solving, and working both independently and with interdisciplinary teams in order to optimize patient care. I have experience teaching patients, their family members, and care team members at all levels in understanding complex care in emotional and challenging situations. I am a dependable employee who enjoys taking on challenging roles, building relationships and working with different teams to provide the best available care.
