About
I’m a BSN-prepared Registered Nurse with more than seven years of experience in inpatient, community-based, and behavioral health settings. My work spans cardiac telemetry, medical-surgical, acute inpatient rehabilitation, locked psychiatric care, and hospice.
I’ve worked as a staff nurse, a PRN hospice case manager, a psychiatric charge nurse, and a travel nurse across California, Texas, and Louisiana. In every setting, I focus on thorough assessment, early recognition and escalation of changes in condition, clear documentation, and close collaboration with the interdisciplinary team.
Before nursing, I earned a BBA in Marketing, which still shapes how I communicate with patients, families, and colleagues.
