As a highly experienced Registered Nurse with over 13 years in critical care, I’ve developed a deep expertise in cardiac care, including hands-on experience in cardiac assist devices and post-operative care for complex cardiac surgeries. My passion for patient care and education led me to serve as a Clinical Nurse Educator for over 3 years in a high-acuity Cardiovascular ICU, where I trained and mentored healthcare teams in advanced cardiac therapies and devices. I led education programs for 65+ nurses, helping them achieve proficiency in managing everything from open-heart surgery recovery to using advanced devices like Impella and intra-aortic balloon pumps.Transitioning into a Clinical Specialist role for cardiac assist and cardiac surgery products, I spent the past year supporting healthcare providers across the Northwestern region. I educated physicians and clinical teams on cutting-edge technologies and optimized product utilization for improved patient outcomes. My experience in sales support, product training, and customer engagement has enabled me to build strong relationships with healthcare professionals and contribute to improved clinical outcomes and revenue growth.With a proven track record in leadership, education, and clinical innovation, I’m passionate about advancing healthcare through continuous learning and the effective use of medical technologies. I thrive on bridging the gap between clinical expertise and product innovation, always with a focus on elevating patient care.
