My Story
A Registered Nurse since 1994, I worked 18 years in critical care settings and for the last 5 years in middle and upper management roles. Additionally, I have served in other specialties to include Cardiac Cath Lab, GI and Bronchoscopy Lab and Progressive Care. In the last 5 years, I have become very skilled in reviewing patient records, reviewing policies and procedures and standards of care. I have a strong passion for detail and accuracy in serving others through nursing.
​
I completed the Vickie Malazzo course in Certified Legal Nurse Consulting and am a proud member of The National Alliance of Cetified Legal Nurse Consultants (NACLNC) which is the largest and oldest association of legal nurse consultants. It is my mission to be dedicated to delivering the highest quality of Legal Nurse Consulting in an energetic, efficient manner to save attorneys time and money. ​
