Summary
As an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with close to 15 years of experience working in healthcare, I am seeking a position where I can collaborate with a dynamic team of professionals to deliver a compassionate and high quality care experience. I spent almost half of these years serving in Trauma and Emergency services as a nurse and leader with Jackson Health Systems, one of the largest inner city teaching hospitals in South Florida. This experience prepared me to become extremely detail oriented and hone my clinical skills to expert level, allowing me to serve as a highly effective, adaptable and resilient Advanced Practice Registered Nurse in both the hospital and Primary Care settings.
