Additional Information

I’m a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of hands-on clinical experience, with expertise in perioperative nursing, from pre-op assessment and preparation to PACU and Phase II recovery. My background includes a foundation in Medical/Surgical ICU and critical care, giving me a well-rounded perspective on patient safety, clinical protocols, and acute care management. In recent years, I’ve transitioned my clinical insight into the legal field, providing Legal Nurse Consulting and Expert Witness services to support attorneys and legal teams on cases involving healthcare delivery, standards of care, and medical outcomes. I bring clarity and credibility to complex medical issues by bridging my practical experience with the needs of legal professionals. My specialties include PACU protocols, perioperative workflows, airway and pain management, and comprehensive patient education throughout the surgical continuum. I’m passionate about patient advocacy, clinical accuracy, and ensuring the highest standards of care - whether at the bedside or in the courtroom.
