In my current role as a Professional Development Specialist Lead, I ensure optimization efforts are identified and implemented to support clinical decision-making that supports high-quality and safe patient care. As a CNA Program Instructor at KSU Community and Professional Education, I taught and trained aspiring certified nursing assistants in the skills and knowledge they need to provide quality care to patients. I also worked as a Medic at IATSE Local 479, where I provide first aid and emergency medical services to film and television crew members on set. I have a BS in Nursing from Kennesaw State University and a Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse credential from the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses. I have over seven years of experience as a Registered Nurse, including working at the Shepherd Center, a specialized hospital for spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation. I have strong interpersonal and communication skills, and I am passionate about educating and empowering others in the healthcare field. My goal is to use my expertise and experience to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of individuals and communities.
