Summary
Registered Nurse with a strong foundation in inpatient oncology, now transitioning into outpatient settings. I care deeply about creating positive experiences for patients and bring a calm, steady presence to every interaction. Adaptable, quick to learn, and a strong communicator, I thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments that value collaboration and continuous growth. My earlier work in neuroscience research sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my ability to approach clinical care with curiosity, critical thinking, and a commitment to evidence-based practice
