Summary

I have dedicated the past 20 years to healthcare, providing care across various settings. My journey began as a CNA and progressed to the ER, where I worked as an ER Tech in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. My passion for emergency medicine deepened during my time there, leading me to obtain my RN license and continue delivering exceptional care in the ER.

I am a highly motivated professional with a strong work ethic, adaptability, and excellent interpersonal skills. I thrive in challenging environments, excel at working independently, and quickly master new skills. With a proven track record at Tulare District Hospital, Community Medical Center and Adventist Hospital, I specialize in pediatric and adult conscious sedation and am skilled in critical care and bilingual communication. My ability to lead and advocate for patients enhances both patient satisfaction and outcomes. Combining technical expertise with compassionate care, I consistently achieve outstanding results in patient satisfaction and safety.
