Skills include assisting students with acute illness and injury, managing chronic health conditions (allergies/anaphylaxis, asthma, seizures, diabetes, mental health, etc.), promoting health (hearing and vision screenings, vaccinations, etc), and increasing access to health care resources. My goal is to keep students healthy, safe, and ready to learn. I provide training and education to students, families, school/district staff, and the community on healthy lifestyles, managing acute and chronic health conditions, risk-reducing behaviors, and emergency procedures. I participate at all of my school sites' interdisciplinary teams for special education by bridging the gap of academics and health so students can get the most from their individualized educational plans and 504s.

I want my students, families, and school staff to feel empowered regarding their health and wellbeing and give them the skills and tools they need to lead happy, safe, and healthy lives.Seasoned emergency room RN with 12 years of experience in critical care, trauma, comprehensive stroke, STEMI, and emergency care.
