Summary

I am a bilingual Registered Nurse with experience in the operating room and a strong background in both outpatient and surgical care. I take pride in my ability to stay calm in high pressure situations, advocate for my patients, and work closely with a team to deliver safe, thorough care. My goal is to grow into critical care nursing at Atrium Health, where I can build on my clinical foundation, sharpen my critical thinking, and continue providing the compassionate, patient focused care that drew me to nursing in the first place.
