I am an experience board certified Emergency Room Registered Nurse with 18 years of hands on clinical experience. I originally graduated in Toronto, Canada with nursing diploma and then obtained my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree after I moved to California. I completed the legal nurse consulting certificate through the program at California State University Long Beach, after having worked for the Board of Registered Nurses of California as an expert witness. I continue to work in that capacity and enjoy the ability to exercise caution and meticulous details in my reviews. I am highly skilled in critical care nursing in the emergency department, where I frequently take care of all walks and ages of life. When I'm not in the emergency department, I work in Interventional Radiology. I also work in the fields of home health and home concierge and can speak to standards of care in that realm. I am a certified emergency room nurse and have additional certifications in triaging.
