Summary
After over a decade as a nurse—most recently in a Practice Educator Facilitator in Critical Care—I have decided to pursue a career in data and technology. Clinical experience has sharpened my ability to make informed, high-stakes decisions, lead teams under pressure, and communicate with empathy and clarity.
Currently eager to transfer these strengths into a new context where I can make an impact through data-driven solutions. Proficient in Microsoft Office and have foundational knowledge of SQL, with a growing interest in data analysis and digital tools that I am exploring through Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate .
This career change reflects the desire to continue solving problems, improving processes, and making a difference—this time through technology.
