Seasoned Critical Care Registered Nurse with 11 years of high-acuity intensive care experience, specializing in Level I Trauma and Cardiac Critical Care, presenting the clinical autonomy, rapid resuscitation expertise, and decisive action. Expert in managing complex hemodynamics, rapid-sequence intubation, massive transfusion protocols, and advanced mechanical circulatory support, including ECMO, Impella, and intra-aortic balloon pumps. Proven leadership in immediate patient triage, acute trauma stabilization, cardiac rhythm interpretation, and aggressive vasoactive medication titration during life-threatening crises. Adept at navigating unpredictable, high-stress environments independently and seamlessly collaborating with interprofessional teams to drive efficient emergency care when access to immediate inpatient backup is limited. I have consistently provided dedicated and compassionate direct patient care, conducted clinical research, and coordinated care in a fast-paced environment.

By promoting empathetic communication, maintaining a respectful attitude, and delivering excellent customer service, I have consistently built strong relationships with patients and their families.
