PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY:

Over fifteen years of experience in health care has provided opportunities for growth and maturity which has resulted in the development of habits and abilities that tend to stand out in the delivery of services to various patient populations.

Emergency department, Medical Surgical and Primary Care roles, as either a Registered Nurse or as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse have allowed for overlapping insights into the care and attention needed to care for patients in various predicaments, in various stages of health and in various life circumstances.

Nonmedical education and work experience has led to the development of an eclectic approach to problem solving and task accomplishment that is exceptionally effective.

Some areas of expertise include, but may not be necessarily limited to, Management, Education & Support, Teamwork, Critical and Analytical Thinking, Direct Patient Care, Diagnosis and Health Care Management
