A dedication to learning and growing in the art of nursing, the years of experiences and academic accomplishments taught me empathetic, relational, and compassionate caring, active listening, connecting through common experiences, and a drive to further advance nursing research and innovation.
I am a mother to two wonderful children, Emily (10) and Emerson (7). When Emerson was 15 months old in 2015, he was diagnosed with a rare inflammatory disease called Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis. Since his diagnosis, he has been through several medical procedures requiring different levels of sedation including but not limited to surgery, MRI and CT imaging. Through the years, we have learned along the way as he matures what his personal challenges are for sedation and how to successfully and comfortably sedate him. We have come a long way with trying multiple methods leading up to sedation. We have learned what works and what needs to be modified for the next time. We have also learned what strategies in the past now have caused negative effects in other medical aspects. He will continue to require sedation through the years for procedures that are anticipated with his disease. I look forward to helping give the parents perspective of child sedation.
As the Nurse Director of the Pain Division, a Nurse Practitioner on the inpatient pain service, and the co-Chair of the Interdisciplinary Pain Committee, I have contributed to the improvements in needle pain management at my institution.
