During the COVID-19 pandemic I worked as a frontline worker in the COVID ICU. I delivered direct patient care, monitored & stabilized patients, liaised between patient & families during limited contact & no visitation policies, conducted assessments, diagnostic tests, titration of multiple vasoactive medications, sedation and paralytics. I maintained composure during high stress rapid response situations while caring for 2-3 high acuity patients.

As a recent graduate with the guidance of my preceptors, I gained knowledge & hands on experience. At the completion of the program I completed my research project on Perianesthesia Bedside Handoff.
