I have extensive experience communicating medical histories, symptoms, procedures, medications, treatments, and discharge instructions with patients, families, physicians, and multidisciplinary care teams. I apply strong knowledge of medical terminology, clinical documentation, and patient confidentiality.

My nursing background includes emergency, intensive care, outpatient, critical-care, home-care, and shipboard healthcare environments. I am experienced in patient assessment, triage, ECG monitoring, IV therapy, medication administration, wound care, and emergency interventions.

I have worked with multicultural patient populations in American and international healthcare environments, including cruise ships, hospitals, and private home-care settings. I bring professionalism, active listening, patient advocacy, and cultural sensitivity to every interaction.

I am a licensed Registered Nurse in New York State and Ecuador, with active BLS, ACLS, PALS, PHTLS, BOSIET, and Offshore Medical Training certifications. I speak Spanish natively, English fluently, and have intermediate Italian and Hebrew language skills.
