Work History
Registered Nurse, CVICU
University of Florida Health
Jacksonville, Florida
03.2025 - Current
- Provided comprehensive critical care management for complex cardiothoracic surgery patients (e.g., CABG, valve repair/replacement, thoracic aortic surgery), prioritizing hemodynamic stability and early organ perfusion.
- Managed the systematic weaning of continuous inotropic and vasopressor infusions based on continuous hemodynamic parameters, mean arterial pressure targets, and systemic perfusion metrics.
- Maintained vigilance for subacute post-operative complications, including cardiac tamponade and low cardiac output syndrome, initiating prompt interventions to enhance patient safety.
- Monitored mediastinal and pleural chest tube output trends to identify late surgical bleeding or signs of thoracic fluid collection, facilitating timely interventions.
- Collaborated in multidisciplinary care with cardiothoracic surgeons, intensivists, and respiratory therapists to optimize patient outcomes.
CCU Registered Nurse
University of Florida Health
Jacksonville, FL
03.2024 - 03.2025
- Supported care for high-acuity cardiac patients with invasive hemodynamic monitoring, including CVP, arterial lines, and pulmonary artery catheters, while reading waveforms and real-time trends to guide quick clinical decisions and goal-directed resuscitation.
- Managed LVAD support for cardiogenic shock patients, ensuring optimal system performance and monitoring for hemolysis or device displacement.
- Operated and monitored IABP therapy for post-MI and severe decompensated heart failure patients, adjusting timing and trigger modes to enhance myocardial oxygen supply and reduce left ventricular afterload.
- Titrated multiple concurrent high-risk vasoactive infusions based on strict hemodynamic parameters, ensuring alignment with clinical targets and patient stability.
- Partnered with cardiologists, respiratory therapists, and UF Health care teams.
- Precepted and mentored RNs transitioning from intermediate care experience into the CCU, guiding them through the shift to high-acuity critical care by providing advanced instruction on complex cardiac physiology, Swan-Ganz waveform interpretation, vasoactive titration, and mechanical circulatory support (Impella, IABP).

Affiliations
- Completed 36 hours of CRNA shadowing across multiple occasions at Memorial Hospital, observing the full perioperative management of complex craniotomy and spinal procedures—including pre-op assessments, advanced airway interventions, invasive arterial line monitoring, and intra-op anesthetic titration to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure and hemodynamic stability.
- Completed 10 hours of CRNA shadowing at Orange Park Hospital, gaining direct insight into perioperative care for a multi-graft CABG procedure—specifically observing endotracheal airway securing, continuous arterial line monitoring, and tight vasoactive blood pressure control tailored to cardiopulmonary bypass transitions.
