About

Expert registered nurse and a highly skilled manager with 30 years of analytical experience and a diligent style leader in a variety of clinical environments bringing strong planning and decision-making skills. Proficient in Medicare regulations, OSHA, HIPPA, CLIA, ADA, JCAHO standards, and skilled in various other directives. A steadfast, accountable, and enthusiastic healthcare professional with a solid career background based on integrity, ethics, and high standards of quality care initiatives, with top-notch clinical acumen, with a steadfast dedication to the development and training of staff.

I am also inspired and well-prepared in filling in as in a position (should one be open the near future) as an educator/instructor, infection specialist, assistant director of nursing, or the even director of nursing role. In part, the impetus toward this aspiration is to enable the application of many years of accumulated knowledge, experience, and skills in nursing and meshing the newly acquired, developed philosophies, competencies of management from achieving an MBA. Coupled with the passion for teaching, a deep commitment to improve or enhance the workplace ambiance and management styles through the promotion of professionalism, work ethic, and in particular, issues in healthcare management, I am committed to “paying it forward” for the many blessings bestowed and community health preparedness.

Goals and interests

Career goal

Having a strong work background in an array of roles over the span of 28+ years from Registered Nurse, Charge Nurse, Supervisor, and Nurse Manager/Director in various healthcare settings comprised of diverse patient populations, I am, therefore, well-prepared to meet the challenges that the Education/Employment Specialist, Director of Nursing, or Assistant Director of Nursing.

Graduate school interests

I attended and graduated from Saint Leo University in 2018 with a 3.5 GPA: Business Administration with Specialization in Healthcare Management.

Outside the classroom

I thoroughly enjoy traveling, gardening, and spending time with my family, Beagle, and friends. Additionally, there is a deep devotion toward giving back the gifts of knowledge and experiences gained from research and references related to healthcare, nursing, science, and management. By being able to commingle lessons learned from multiple disciplines across the arts, sciences, and business areas from Psychology, Sociology, Anatomy, and Physiology to Statistics, Accounting, Economics, Ethics, or Adult Health, Maternal & Child Care, for example, has spurred the interest to give back this appreciation of enlightenment to our community at large through teaching or development and training. Having merited and accomplished background in research and writing, I, too, utterly relished the work. Hence, any profession allowing teaching to further my career would allow me to accel toward stewardship in the “paying it forward” of these blessings and gifts back into our community.
