Description
I have 22 years of clinical experience as a Registered Nurse and have worked in a variety of settings.  After proudly earning an Honorable Discharge from the United States Marine Corps I attended Fitchburg State College and graduated with my BSN.
 
I started my career as a medical/surgical nurse and gained experience in orthopedics and telemetry.  I was then fortunate to participate in a Critical Care Internship at Mount Auburn Hospital and worked in the Medical/Cardiac and Surgical Intensive Care Units as well as the Emergency Department.  My career progressed by gaining employment in the Emergency Department at UMass Medical Center, the only Level 1 Emergency/Trauma Center in Central Massachusetts.  Working as a Staff Nurse, I cared for a wide variety of conditions in the adult and pediatric emergency/trauma departments.  My responsibility increased as I assumed the role of a Resource/Charge Nurse.  After 5 years, in 2010, I was honored to accept a position as a Critical Care Flight Nurse with UMass Memorial Life Flight.  Along with my co-worker, a Critical Care Paramedic, we are charged with providing ICU level of care to the sickest patients in the State while transporting them to a higher level of care.  In this role, I also have the privilege of offering educational opportunities to local Emergency Medical Services as well as Fire and Police Departments.  I am also a certified Instructor for Adult Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).

I am also an Adjunct Faculty Clinical Instructor for two Schools of Nursing,  University of Massachusetts at Lowell Solomont School of Nursing and Worcester State University where I supervise and educate senior nursing students in the clinical/hospital setting.  I also have administrative experience as a Nursing Supervisor at a local community hospital.

With this diverse background and unique clinical experience, I feel that I have the knowledge, skill and dedication to effectively collaborate with you to achieve positive outcomes.
