My journey in healthcare has given me deep insight into the unique needs of senior care, chronic conditions, and obesity. As a nurse and writer, I combine clinical knowledge with storytelling to create content that’s accurate, relatable, and easy to understand.

What sets me apart is my ability to translate complex medical topics into content that connects with healthcare professionals, caregivers, and patients alike. Every piece I write is grounded in real-world experience and a commitment to educating and supporting others.

Outside of nursing and writing, I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, and taking long walks with my dogs. I love hiking and traveling—especially when I can spend time with my two daughters, six grandchildren, and my aging mother. These moments remind me why I do what I do: to foster connection, compassion, and care. Let’s connect on LinkedIn >

• Medical and surgical step-down from ICU
• Patient and family education and advocacy

April 2011 – Present

I’ve spent over a decade on the PCU East unit, supporting middle-aged and older adults with a wide range of health conditions. I previously worked in the Heart & Vascular Center (HVC) for two years, where I prepared patients for procedures like heart catheterizations, pacemaker implants, Afib ablations, chemo-embolizations, and more.

I also managed post-procedure recovery, including sedation monitoring, sheath removals, maintaining hemostasis, patient education, and discharge coordination.
