My nursing journey has been a testament to my passion for patient care. After completing my undergraduate degree in nursing at New York University, I began my career in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. While the critical thinking and high acuity of patients were invaluable experiences, it was in the Labor and Delivery (L&D) setting where I found my true calling.

In the L&D setting, I have had the honor of being part of one of the most important days in people's lives. The long hours and demanding work are all worth it when I can positively impact someone's birthing experience. Building meaningful relationships with patients and understanding their birth preferences has become a hallmark of my practice. 

In the midst of my career, I went back to school to obtain two masters degrees and briefly dabbled in administration.  However, I was quickly disillusioned by the bureaucracy of the medical system and returned to what I love most - taking care of patients. 

Throughout my nursing career, I've also taken on roles in quality improvement and research. I’ve brought my work to a national conference and plan to publish the results of my research study within the next year.  Nurses play a pivotal role at the frontline, witnessing areas where care can be improved and advocating for system-level changes. My dedication to nursing research stems from the belief that it should play a central role in shaping the best methods of delivering care.

It was serendipity that led me to Legal Nurse Consulting. A doctor I work with referred me to a lawyer seeking expert opinions on a birth injury case, and I instantly fell in love with the work. The investigative nature of legal nurse consulting and the opportunity to apply my nursing knowledge and skills in a new and intriguing way resonated deeply with me.   I have since pursued additional education and training to further my expertise in the legal world, including a two day bootcamp on audit trail analysis, which has allowed me to expand my scope to all areas of medical malpractice.  Audit trails are the future of medical malpractice litigation, and I’m excited to be a part of it.  

When I’m not delivering babies, conducting research, or doing consulting work, you can find me traveling, reading a novel, or hanging with my dog Champ.
