I have worked as an ER tech, an ICU and ER nurse, an NP on a Level I Trauma Service, in an Urgent Care, and in an Occupational Medicine Clinic. I have spent over 25 years as an EM NP working in the trenches, with a concurrent job in operations and management as an APC Director. My current role is back in the trenches full time with VECM at Northwestern Medicine Delnor, and part time in addiction medicine at RCA.
