Specialties

With over 27 years of experience as a registered nurse certified in critical care, I have built a career rooted in clinical excellence and adaptability. My journey began in varying intensive care units including neurosurgical, surgical, open heart, and trauma units. I traveled across the country delivering high-acuity care in faced paced, high stress environments. These experiences sharpened my expertise in managing critically ill patients and responding effectively to complex medical emergencies. In recent years, I transitioned into the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), where I now specialize in recovering patients from surgery- providing vigilant monitoring, pain management, and compassionate care during one of the most vulnerable stages of the surgical experience.
