Terry-ann Torchon

am a dedicated healthcare professional with a background in nursing, healthcare, and customer service. I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and am passionate about providing compassionate, patient-centered care while continuing to grow professionally and expand my clinical knowledge.

My experience has allowed me to work in a variety of environments, including healthcare, pharmacy, retail, and food service. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a pharmacy technician, produce clerk at Publix, and cashier at Chick-fil-A. These experiences strengthened my communication, teamwork, organization, and ability to remain calm and attentive in fast-paced environments.

My healthcare experience has further developed my ability to advocate for patients, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and approach each patient with empathy and professionalism.
