Active Labor & Delivery Nurse, BSN, RNC-OB, C-EFM

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

The National Standard of Care Authority I identify gaps between clinical documentation and bedside care. Having practiced across diverse perinatal units nationwide, I offer a multi-jurisdictional perspective grounded in experience across varied hospital systems. I don’t just know one hospital’s policy—I know the national standard. My authority is backed by elite clinical validation, including Inpatient Obstetric Nursing (RNC-OB) certification and dual Fetal Monitoring certifications (C-EFM via NCC and AWHONN/A1). I am an active member of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing and a recipient of the DAISY Award for extraordinary nursing care. Critical Event Analysis: Neonatal & Maternal Injury I provide objective, evidence-based reviews of the top drivers of OB malpractice claims—including oxygen deprivation, delivery trauma, delayed interventions, mismanaged medications, and breakdowns in the chain of command. With advanced certifications (NRP, ACLS, BLS) and over 25 years of bedside experience, I determine adherence to—or deviation from—the standards of practice. My analysis pinpoints how clinical actions and decision-making contributed to—or mitigated—adverse outcomes. Why My Perspective Wins Chain of Command Specialist: I recognize exactly where the escalation succeeded or broke down between nursing and medical staff. Jury-Ready Communication: As a professional childbirth educator with years of experience, I translate complex perinatal interventions into plain English, explaining to the jury why a specific clinical action matters in the context of the standard of care. Unbiased & Current: I am an active bedside clinician with a “clean” profile—no prior testimony on record—offering high credibility as a fresh, non-partisan expert. Adaptable & Thorough: My extensive travel nursing background allows me to rapidly decode any hospital system’s workflow. I identify the precise moment care failed by understanding how the national standard applies across the full acuity spectrum, from high-acuity Level IV academic trauma centers to resource-limited Level I community units.
