I am writing to express my strong interest in beginning my Nurse Practitioner career with GI Alliance. I will be graduating in May 2025 with a Master of Science in Nursing-Adult-Gerontology Primary Care from North Park University and am eager to bring my clinical skills, leadership, and patient centered care to your team. With over 16 years of hands-on experience as a Registered Nurse, including care for high acuity patients at Northwest Community Hospital, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities of managing chronic conditions. My clinical interest align closely with gastroenterology, particularly in caring for patients with conditions common in GI settings such as IBD, IBS, GERD, and liver disease. Additionally, I am fluent in both English and Spanish and value providing accessible and compassionate care to various patient populations. I would be honored to contribute to the exceptional care delivered by GI Alliance and am confident in my ability to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to provide patient-centered care. I look forward to the opportunity to speak to you further.
