Summary

I am seeking a position that offers RN opportunities in leadership, challenging scenarios, room for growth and advancement, and opportunities to not only improve myself but also provide clear pathways for others to gain knowledge and achieve their goals.

I am humble enough to still ask for help. Dependable, timely, trustworthy, compassionate towards others, flexible, and even-tempered are all terms I have heard expressed about myself, along with excellent communication skills. I strive to be detail-oriented and am eager to be part of a team. Socially, I am complex, and I express genuine curiosity, and I have an adept ability to learn and adapt rapidly. At this point in my career, I care deeply for the nursing profession, and I believe I have a specific toolset that would allow me to make a meaningful impact on others. I was fortunate to have had wonderful mentors to learn from early on, and I can now pass that down myself.
