Summary
I am a dedicated and compassionate nurse with ten years of experience as an LPN. Throughout my career, I have delivered high-quality patient care and supported many physicians across various clinical settings. I recently chose to further my education and transition into a Registered Nurse. My first opportunity with UPMC was in the PCU, where I have been working since June 2025. I have gained valuable experience; however, my long-term goal has always been to work in the Birthplace. I will be eligible to transfer in December 2025.
