Summary
I am an analytical and strategic Student Nurse Anesthetist with excellent problem-solving and time management skills. I lead with compassionate care of my patients, and strive for exceptional clinical, didactic and leadership skills. I am comfortable in fast-paced situations and adept in crisis management of critically ill patients. I have developed successful prioritization, communication, and rapid assessment skills required to improve the quality of my patient's care and outcomes in the operating room. I strive to utilize, and continuously improve upon, these strong abilities in all anesthesia facilities at which I work following my graduation from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in 2025.
