I’m a nurse practitioner, educator, and researcher who has spent my career supporting children and families with complex conditions—especially those living with pain. I’ve worked in schools, hospitals, homes, and classrooms, and I’m passionate about building systems that make care more accessible, inclusive, and effective.
Right now, I split my time between teaching future nurses, leading research initiatives, and providing direct care to kids with painful conditions. I work to strengthen the systems that surround children and families, with every project grounded in deep collaboration with complex care members and families. I also support nurses as leaders in building a more just and responsive healthcare future.
I’m board certified in school nursing, nursing education, pain management, and family practice, and I’ve been honored to be named a Fellow of both the National Academy of School Nursing and the American Academy of Nursing.
Cold emails have gotten me far in my career- don’t hesitate to send one. I’m always open to connection, collaboration, and conversation.
