Who I Am

The nurse who builds better curricula


My career sits at a rare intersection: I've held patients' hands in the ICU, coached nursing students through their first clinical rotations, and designed graduate-level curricula that actually stick. That lived clinical experience isn't a footnote - it's the foundation of everything I create.

With a PhD in Psychology, a BSN, and an MPH, I bring rigorous academic training to every project. My clinical foundation spans PACU, pre-op, post-op, ICU, Stepdown, L&D, OB, and Postpartum - including hands-on experience with HIPAA compliance, UB-04 institutional billing, ICD-10-CM/PCS coding, and DRG documentation from direct collaboration with medical billing teams.

I build SCORM-compliant e-learning in Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate, write PhD-level systematic literature reviews, and ghostwrite full-length books - all manually, with zero AI-generated content. Every deliverable can be verified with an AI detection report and a plagiarism check on request.

🏥Clinically Grounded
Real nursing experience across ICU, L&D, OB, PACU, and Postpartum informs every content decision - no guesswork, only clinical truth.
🎓Academically Rigorous
PhD-level research skills ensure evidence-based, peer-reviewed-quality output using ADDIE, Bloom's Taxonomy, Gagné's Nine Events, PRISMA, JBI, and CASP.
🎯Learner-Centered
Every module and curriculum is designed around how real learners retain and apply knowledge - not how content looks on paper.
✍️100% Human-Written
No AI-generated content - ever. Every deliverable is manually crafted, tailored to your goals, and can be verified with AI + plagiarism reports.
🔬Evidence-Based Practice
All content grounded in peer-reviewed literature, clinical guidelines, and recognized research frameworks.
Clinical Background

The RN behind every word

My clinical nursing background isn't a credential I list - it's the lens through which I write, design, and teach. When I write about hemodynamics, I've monitored them. When I design simulation scenarios, I've lived them. When I build nursing exam questions, I've taken the exams and practiced the content. This is what makes the difference between healthcare content that sounds right and content that IS right.
