CRNA Expert Witness | Anesthesia Standard of Care | Airway, OB, Sedation, Regional | Clinical & Administrative Expertise I’m a board-certified Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) with over 8 years of clinical anesthesia experience across diverse practice settings and 3 years of senior-level operational leadership. As a Vice President of Clinical Operations at Essential Anesthesia Management—a national organization supporting over 140 facilities—I bring a dual perspective to expert witness work: grounded clinical expertise and real-world administrative insight. Expert Witness Experience Since 2018, I have served as an expert witness on a wide range of anesthesia-related cases, providing impartial reviews and testimony for both plaintiff and defense teams. My experience includes: • Case review and standard-of-care analysis • Consultation with legal teams on case development and strategy Attorneys appreciate my ability to translate complex anesthesia concepts into clear, courtroom-ready insights while maintaining neutrality and professionalism. Clinical Anesthesia Expertise My practice spans all surgical environments and delivery models—hospital ORs, trauma centers, obstetrics, ambulatory surgery centers, and office-based settings. I have practiced in four states, working both independently and in team-based models with anesthesiologists, and have managed complications across the full scope of anesthesia care, including: • Airway management: Failed intubation, aspiration, CICO scenarios • Regional anesthesia: Nerve block injuries, LAST, spinal/epidural complications • Obstetric anesthesia: High-risk labor epidurals, PDPH, cesarean section anesthesia • Sedation and MAC: Propofol sedation mishaps, respiratory depression, oversedation • Documentation and monitoring failures: Missing assessments, inadequate charting, vital sign tracking lapses • Pediatric and ambulatory anesthesia: Laryngospasm, emergence delirium, safety protocols This breadth of experience makes me well-positioned to analyze deviations from anesthesia standards of care in nearly any clinical context.
