Summary

Registered Nurse and Managing Partner with a strong background in perioperative nursing, surgical assistance, and medical practice management. With years of experience as an OR Nurse Manager in New York City and extensive expertise in circulating, scrubbing, and post-operative care, I have developed a deep understanding of patient safety, surgical efficiency, and exceptional healthcare delivery. Transitioning from hospital-based nursing to co-owning and managing a medical practice, I have combined my clinical expertise with strategic leadership, overseeing daily operations, budgeting, staff management, and patient care coordination.


Looking ahead, I aim to continue expanding my leadership role in healthcare, integrating innovative practice management strategies while staying deeply connected to patient care.
