: About Me

My professional life is all about the nursing career that has taken me from Surgery to Utilization Review, Case Management, Infection Prevention, Legal Nurse Consulting, and frequent delvings into other specialties along the way.

Since then, I have earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a Public Health Nursing Certificate, and Certifications in Infection Control, Case Management and Legal Nurse Consulting.
