Summary

I have been in Emergency Medicine since May of 2020 slowly climbing in responsibilities from patient care tech to registered nurse. I love the fast paced environment and the joys of helping patients in their worst moments.

I have a special place in my heart for cancer care and treatment and have always wanted to pursue a helping career with that patient population.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse (RN) with progressive career history in direct patient care, triage and care coordination in fast-paced environment. Proven to remain calm under pressure and skillfully handle difficult patients and high-stress situations. Consistently developing strong relationships with patients and families through empathetic communication, respectful attitude and excellent customer service.
