- I am curre
- In my 24 years of nursing, I have worked as a nurse liaison for an acute rehab and a case manager in the regional hospital on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I always prioritized patients’ needs to ensure the best care and outcomes. I have nine years of experience in the hospital from medical surgical to intensive care giving me an extensive background and knowledge to triage and prioritize patient needs.
- I have worked in the school setting for the last 8 years in multiple Title I schools in Maryland and South Carolina, managing heavy caseloads and prioritizing my student’s care. Students in Title I schools experience disproportionately higher rates of poverty, hunger, homelessness, and negative health outcomes compared to their peers in non-Title I schools. I have been able to use my background in case management to provide my students with the best outcomes possible. Over the last year I have become the Lead Nurse at the largest Title I school in South Carolina managing a staff of three registered nurses.
