Certified Nurse-Midwife, nursing leader, and educator with more than 20 years of clinical, leadership, and academic experience across hospital, ambulatory, and virtual healthcare settings. Expertise includes women's health, obstetrics, infertility, gynecology, maternal-fetal care, and high-risk pregnancy management. As a CNM, RNC-OB, and C-EFM certified clinician, I bring advanced expertise in obstetric risk assessment, fetal surveillance, patient safety, and evidence-based care. My experience includes leadership of midwifery services, quality improvement initiatives, graduate medical education, and interdisciplinary care teams. I have extensive experience reviewing complex clinical cases, medical records, quality events, and obstetric legal reviews. This work includes evaluating adherence to standards of care, interpreting fetal monitoring tracings, assessing clinical decision-making and documentation, identifying patient safety concerns, and providing recommendations to support regulatory compliance, risk mitigation, and quality improvement. In addition to clinical practice, I serve as a graduate nursing educator and doctoral mentor, teaching across DNP, MSN, RN-BSN, and healthcare administration programs. My combined background in clinical practice, medical record review, quality assurance, risk management, healthcare leadership, and higher education provides a strong foundation for medical review, utilization management, clinical quality, and case review roles.
