Summary

With a strong background in emergent and non-emergent patient care management, I am committed to providing holistic, patient-centered nursing care. As a paramedic certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support, I bring extensive experience in managing cardiac emergencies and supporting patients through critical interventions. My passion lies in working with cardiac patients, as I feel my skills and dedication are best suited to this population. Additionally, I have experience mentoring and training healthcare professionals as a paramedic preceptor, which has further enhanced my ability to lead and collaborate effectively in high-stakes environments, such as cardiology focused nursing care.
