With over a decade of experience in the healthcare field, I bring a strong foundation of clinical expertise and compassionate care. For eight years, I worked as a Med-Surg nurse, travel nurse, and cardiac nurse, gaining diverse experience across high-acuity settings and patient populations. The variety of roles allowed me to develop adaptability, resilience, and a deep understanding of both acute and chronic health conditions. It also allowed me to see the role mental health plays and the importance it holds.
