WinnerBio
BSN Registered Nurse II with a strong educational background and professional experience in critical care, emergency, psychiatry mental health, and home healthcare settings. Noted throughout my career for consistently providing high-quality patient-centered care with compassion, diligence, and wholeheartedness, in fast-paced hospital environments to various populations and ages across the lifespan. Adept at managing routine and complex medical and psychiatric conditions and committed to improving patient outcomes through comprehensive patient care and education.
I aim to pursue the role of a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner driven by the desire to tackle mental health disparities, notably among African-Americans and Veterans in the United States, primarily Texas state. Through servant leadership, excellence, accountability, and diversity, all patients can and will be served with inclusivity and equity.
