Believe it or not, I originally intended to attend law school after my undergrad degree, and as part of this plan, I worked in the San Diego Superior Court clerk’s office for nine months. I was in the criminal department and still keenly remember some of the cases I read, as a 20-year-old female, beginning to realize how intense the world could be.
One distraction after another, and I never ended up making it to law school, no matter how many times my father told me that I would make a great lawyer. Instead, I ended up applying for nursing school, holding out to go to the University of Washington, as it had such a great reputation, and
"I refused to settle for anything less than the best."
I continued to show up at 150% for my career and made my way through incredible roles at the University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and then a dream role as a nurse educator in the pharmaceutical realm. Eventually, all the downtime of the pandemic led me to start my own business, and combine all my natural skills of caring for others and developing winning arguments, as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. I’m here and I can’t wait to help you win cases.
Holding baccalaureate degrees in both business and nursing, I have worked on all sides of the healthcare system, from the bedside to scheduling to administration to the pharmaceutical industry. I have specialized in oncology throughout, and developed exceptional communication skills after working with this sensitive population. A background in oncology is also unique in that it requires the practitioner to develop skills in all areas of medicine, including neurology, cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, hepatology, nephrology, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, dermatology, psychology, infectious disease, cell therapy, critical care, emergency situations, and rehabilitation. I am well versed to handle any case.
