About me

Founder of Legal Nurse Academy

With over 18 years in healthcare, including serving as an ICU preceptor for new grads, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping people and using my expertise to educate others.

Since 2021, I’ve worked in legal nurse consulting from multiple perspectives; independently, as a subcontractor, as a hiring LNC, as a forensic nurse expert, and as an ICU expert witness. I’ve had the privilege of testifying in five states (and counting!) and collaborating with attorneys and LNCs nationwide.

Through these experiences, I’ve learned what it takes to succeed as a legal nurse consultant across a variety of roles.

I’m passionate about sharing that knowledge to help nurses build confidence, expand their skills, and leverage their expertise for success.
