I am a Nurse Practitioner with 11 years of nursing experience and a strong clinical background in acute and complex patient care. Prior to becoming a Nurse Practitioner, I worked on a telemetry unit, where I developed extensive experience caring for patients with a wide range of cardiovascular conditions and monitoring patients requiring close cardiac observation.
Throughout my nursing career, I have cared for patients with complex cardiac needs, including individuals with pacemakers, patients undergoing cardiac angiograms, and those requiring continuous cardiac monitoring. My clinical experience also includes caring for patients receiving intravenous antibiotic therapy, managing postoperative patients, and providing care for individuals with complex psychiatric and behavioral health needs.
This diverse clinical background has strengthened my ability to recognize changes in patient condition, prioritize care, collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams, and provide safe, evidence-based patient care. My years of bedside nursing experience have provided me with a strong foundation in clinical assessment, critical thinking, patient education, and the management of medically complex patients. As a Nurse Practitioner, I bring both advanced clinical knowledge and extensive hands-on nursing experience to my approach to patient care.
