With over 27 years of frontline experience in critical care, I bring unmatched insight into the fast-paced, high-stakes world of ICU medicine. As both a seasoned bedside critical care nurse and a board-certified Critical Care Nurse Practitioner, I’ve managed the most complex, high-acuity patients—developing a deep understanding of what should happen when seconds count. My expertise spans:rn • Critical patient assessment and rapid interventionsrn • Interdisciplinary team collaborationrn • Standards of care in intensive care settingsrn • Policy development, research, and outcome improvement initiatives I’ve presented on initiatives such as length of stay reduction in cardiac surgery patients and the ICU A-to-F Bundle, aimed at improving outcomes and reducing complications. These initiatives reflect not only best practice, but expected standards of care—making them highly relevant in both plaintiff and defense case reviews. As an expert witness, I offer:rn • Clear, objective, and professional analysisrn • Ability to translate complex medical language into courtroom-ready insightrn • Deep familiarity with documentation, deviation, and the real-world expectations placed on ICU nurses and advanced practice providers I understand how critical it is to bridge the gap between clinical care and legal strategy. Whether you need behind-the-scenes consultation or expert testimony, I can help you build stronger, medically sound cases. Let’s connect to discuss how my expertise can support your upcoming litigation or case review.
