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 perioperative and critical care settings — PACU, pre-op, post-op, ICU, L&D, OB, and Postpartum.

I do not use AI-generated content in my work. Every manuscript, curriculum, and research project is written manually and tailored to your goals, audience, and standards. Completed work can include both an AI check report and a plagiarism report.

🏥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.
