Professional Summary
During my nursing career, I have provided patient care in the Emergency Department, Medical Surgical Unit, Neonatal Intensive Care, Dialysis Unit, Ambulatory and Primary Care Departments, HIV/AIDS Healthcare, Physical Medicine, and Obstetrics and Gynecology. I have functioned in major roles in Nursing Administration, in the establishment of Primary Care facilities and in obtaining certification for healthcare services and patient education programs. I have designed and conducted education programs with an emphasis on Diabetes Self-Management, Fitness/Nutrition for those with Chronic illnesses, Childhood Obesity, and Prenatal Care. I provide live presentations on a variety of healthcare issues in clinics, schools, community centers and digital media. I am a healthcare professional who has become skilled in developing Integrative Medical approaches.
With 24 years as a Women’s Healthcare Nurse Practitioner, my flexibility in difficult situations has prepared me for fast-paced, changing environments. I have grown skillful in gathering information through observation and conversation. My professional experience has served me well while working with patients in hospitals, federally funded community-based health centers, research settings and with patient education groups.
