Summary
I am a dedicated healthcare professional whose diverse experiences in nursing, pharmacy, and clinical care have led me to develop a genuine passion for anesthesia. Working closely with providers and supporting patients through high-acuity situations has strengthened my appreciation for the precision, focus, and compassion required in this field. I hope to continue growing into an anesthesia role where I can combine my technical skills with my commitment to protecting and advocating for patients when they need it most.

Projects
- At Florida SouthWestern State College of Nursing identified that students in the nursing program performed better using physical textbooks than e-books and advocated for improved accessibility.Collaborated with the campus bookstore to make tangible textbooks available for purchase using financial aid without adding them to the required supply list, ensuring students could obtain needed materials without increasing their cost of attendance.
- Demonstrated leadership in sterile compounding by analyzing and redesigning the preparation method for a high-use IV sodium bicarbonate admixture. Implemented a more efficient and accurate displacement technique that is now the accepted workflow in the IV room.
