When Northpointe closed I transitioned to Westpointe with the same job responsibilities while I got my employees and residents settled, however my position is unnecessary and I've decided to return to the reason I became a nurse 23 years ago- caring for infants and children with medical needs at home.

• Managed inventory and purchasing for entire facility- all medical, cleaning, and food supplies
• Managed weekly schedules, hiring and firing of a staff of 16, including all new hire training
• Maintained compliance with state and federal regulations and surveying entities such as the Agency for Healthcare Administration and the Florida Dept of Health
• Conducted thorough patient assessments to identify changes in condition, promptly notifying physicians and initiating appropriate interventions when necessary
• Collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to develop comprehensive treatment plans for complex residents with multiple comorbidities
• Skillfully managed challenging situations between residents using de-escalation techniques, crisis intervention strategies, and therapeutic communication skills
• Facilitated transitions between different levels of care, ensuring continuity of services and minimizing disruptions in treatment plans

When my daughter was born I moved to Illinois with my husband and had the pleasure of staying home to raise my daughter until the pandemic. When my husband was laid off we moved back to Pensacola and returned to the family business I had run from 2002-2007 as an Assistant Administrator at Northpointe Retirement Community.

In college I worked as a unit clerk in the NICU for four years. I observed parents at their most terrified, being discharged from the hospital with a medically complex infant and no medical background. I decided to become a nurse and take care of those children. During my last semester my mother passed away and I decided to move home and take on her role in our family business with my father instead of going into home health.
