About
I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse with a strong foundation in patient-centered care. I graduated as an LPN from Suffolk County Community College (SCCC) in 2022, continued my education through SCCC's LPN-to-RN program, graduating in 2024, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Stony Brook University.
My professional journey began in homecare, where I worked as a full-time pediatric LPN from 2022 to 2024. I continue to provide pediatric care on a per diem basis—a role I maintain because of my deep commitment to supporting patients and their families in the comfort of their homes. Currently, I work as a Medical-Surgical Nurse at Stony Brook Hospital.
My unit not only specializes in medical-surgical care but also provides psychiatric support, frequently caring for behavioral health patients receiving medical treatment. This dual focus has allowed me to develop a well-rounded skill set in managing complex medical conditions while providing compassionate and effective care to patients with diverse needs.
I am passionate about continuous learning and improving patient outcomes through evidence-based practice. My goal is to grow as a healthcare professional while making a positive impact on the lives of those I care for.
