Summary
As a dedicated nursing professional with 12 years of experience in the field, I am pursuing the role of a Nurse Practitioner student with a focus on advanced clinical practice, holistic patient care, and health promotion. My journey in nursing has been shaped by a commitment to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care, particularly in the realm of behavioral health. Currently based at the University of Maryland Aberdeen Medical Center's In-patient Behavioral Health Pavilion, I have honed my skills in managing complex patient needs, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patient advocacy.
My aspiration to become a Nurse Practitioner stems from a deep desire to expand my scope of practice and make a broader impact on patients’ lives through diagnostic acumen, treatment planning, and education. I aim to integrate my clinical expertise with an advanced understanding of social determinants of health, fostering equitable and accessible healthcare for diverse populations. Through this advanced practice role, I hope to continue my professional growth and contribute meaningfully to the evolving landscape of healthcare.
