I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. I am a reliable and ethical Registered Nurse with the ability to build positive relationships with my patients, families, coworkers and other multidisciplinary teams. I can efficiently grasp new concepts, and I enjoy learning new information. Over my 30-year nursing career, my experiences include cardiac/telemetry with a focus on diabetes, neonatal nursing, home health, pediatrics and school nursing. I have experience working with students with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as students with mental health disorders.

Work History
Child and Family Support Team Nurse (CFST)
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools
03.2016 - Current
As a Child and Family Support Team Nurse, I work alongside a School Social Worker in a Title 1 school with students and families who are underprivileged.
We identify and coordinate appropriate services and support for students who are at risk of academic failure and out-of-home placement.
We address the physical, social, legal, emotional and developmental factors that can impede their academic performance.
With our support and interventions, the hope is that the student will be successful in school.
We support families by referring to community resources for their basic needs, academic assistance, assist with mental health resources, medical resources which also include dental and vision resources.
We develop plans based on ethical, legal and safety measures for each case.
I collaborate with medical providers as needed to create a plan of care based on each student’s individual medical needs.
I am also a member of the WSFCS District Crisis Team to help support our students and staff with crisis situations.
