Summary

Dedicated and compassionate Labor and Delivery Nurse/ Clinical Nurse Coordinator with 21+ years of experience in Women's care/ Gynecology, Labor and Delivery, and Mother/Baby Nursing. I am committed to planning care for mothers and babies through all phases of the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum.

I provide excellent services to my patients with compassion, wonderful time management, organization skills , and I always put safety and quality care as priority.

I am great at working closely with doctors. I multi-task well and communicate well with doctors, patients, and families.

I am passionate in all areas of women's care, however, I obtained a certification in lactation counseling and enjoy helping mothers and infants be successful. I also enjoy being a leader/mentor on my unit. Orienting nurses is very rewarding. I enjoy being a reliable resource person even after their orientation is over.
