Summary

Board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with experience in Emergency and Urgent Care settings. Transitioned from ER to urgent care in 2024 after a career beginning in 2023; complemented by inpatient palliative care experience. I am a highly-motivated individual with a desire to take on new challenges. At this time, I am very interested in the full-time opportunity within the Trauma department. Skilled in communication, teamwork, and adaptability to deliver optimal patient outcomes under stress. Previous 20 years as an RN in the Emergency Department, including 10 years at a Level II Trauma Center. Completed post-master’s FNP program at The College of New Jersey in 2022.
