A Pediatric Nurse Practitioner presently looking for a position in a pediatric setting. Exceptional interpersonal skills, committed to excellence in my practice. I am highly motivated, caring, and constantly strive to provide the best possible care with compassion and understanding. I am especially skilled at building effective, productive working relationships with patients, families and staff.
As a PNP, with a reputable Pediatric GI practice in Atlanta, I successfully treated patients for GER, GERD, and Constipation, just to name a few. My philosophy is prevention, but not all illnesses can be prevented, so I utilize evidenced-based findings to treat those in my care.
I am a PNP seeking to work in a facility where teamwork is encouraged; where I can learn and grow; one that offers stability and a chance to do what I love- work with the pediatric population.
