Summary

I am a bilingual and highly motivated Registered Nurse with over five years of diverse experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work across a wide range of specialties, honing my clinical skills and delivering exceptional patient care. While I have a broad clinical background, my passion currently lies in Public Health, where I am dedicated to promoting wellness and disease prevention. Additionally, I am deeply committed to team leadership and education, seeking to inspire and guide both colleagues and patients toward healthier outcomes. My ability to communicate effectively in both English and Spanish enhances my capacity to connect with diverse patient populations and collaborate seamlessly in multidisciplinary teams.
