At Corewell Health, my previous role as a Registered Nurse, bolstered by a Bachelor's degree in Nursing from Oakland University, allowed me to leverage my proficiency in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and CPR to deliver exceptional healthcare. Currently furthering my expertise through a Doctorate in Adult Gerontology Primary Care at the University of Michigan, I am dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes through evidence-based practices. My brief tenure as a Nurse Technician at Beaumont Health enriched my clinical skills, reinforcing my commitment to patient-centered care.
