a journey of expertise and empowerment

I'm a second-career nurse with a background in business and a passion for professional and personal growth. For over a decade, I have lived, breathed, and loved nursing, learning invaluable lessons along the way. When I reflect on my favorite moments in my career, they all share one common thread - empowering others to become the best versions of themselves. 

Let me help you become the best version of yourself - let's navigate the nuances of nursing together!  

With a decade of experience as a nurse in the ICU, float pool, and urgent care, I've gained a comprehensive understanding of diverse units, cultures, and patient care practices both in and out of the hospital. Throughout my career, I've been a preceptor and mentor, fostering growth in new nurses and empowering seasoned nurses to elevate their practice. As a Nurse Educator, I coached hundreds of nurses through simulations, skills training, and precepting. As a Trainer for my hospital's electronic medical record software, I simplify complex processes and guide thousands of staff to confidently navigate technological change. As a hospital leader, I provide workshops for our Nurse Leadership Academy, focusing on interview strategy and mock interview scenarios. 

As a lifelong learner, I've had the privilege of earning two undergraduate degrees - one in Communication Studies and one in Nursing - and two master's degrees - one in Nursing Administration and one in Business Administration. This unique combination has fueled my passion for empowering nurses and shaping meaningful conversations in healthcare.

Along the way, I've had the opportunity to publish two articles in respected nursing journals, sharing insights that I hope have made an impact in our field. Each step of my journey has been about learning, growing, and finding new ways to support others in reaching their full potential. 

My career began long before nursing, first as a leadership consultant and then as a recruiter.  In these roles I gained firsthand experience in interviewing, evaluating abilities, and identifying talent - all skills I've carried with me into nursing and now bring to The Nuanced Nurse. These roles shaped my ability to guide others, understand their potential, and help them shine in any professional setting.
