Summary

As a Cardiovascular ICU Nurse, I thrive in high-acuity environments where precision, critical thinking, and collaboration are essential. My experience in managing complex cardiovascular cases, monitoring hemodynamics, and titrating life-saving medications has deepened my ability to provide patient-centered, evidence-based care. My background as a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman has instilled in me the discipline, adaptability, and resilience needed to excel in fast-paced and high-pressure settings. I am committed to continuous learning, clinical excellence, and contributing to a team that prioritizes both patient outcomes and professional growth.
