Summary
Certified Infection Preventionist (CIC) with a practical clinical foundation and a story worth reading. With experience on the front lines of infection control in hospitals—and later, as an entrepreneur—I bridge healthcare precision with creative execution. From managing MRSA outbreaks to crafting COVID-safe protocols for media productions, my journey combines deep clinical insight, hands-on teaching, and crisis-tested leadership. I recently re-entered the field with a CIC and renewed commitment, ready to bring clarity, calm, and results to infection prevention challenges. Open to full-time, part-time, or contract roles in acute care, long-term care, or community settings.
