About Me
Experience
I am a Registered Nurse (RN) with over 25 years of experience in healthcare, providing compassionate, evidence-based care across acute care, community, and private healthcare settings. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals with complex medical conditions, chronic illnesses, palliative care needs, and age-related challenges, while also guiding families through difficult healthcare decisions.
My passion lies in helping people navigate an increasingly complex healthcare system. I founded Vital Life Nursing to provide personalized nurse case management, health advocacy, care planning, and caregiver coordination for older adults and individuals living with chronic or complex health conditions. I believe that every person deserves a care plan tailored to their goals, values, and quality of life.
Clients often tell me that what they value most is having an experienced nurse who can see the "big picture"—someone who coordinates care, anticipates problems before they become crises, communicates effectively with healthcare providers, and helps families make informed decisions with confidence.
I chose nursing because I have always been passionate about helping people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Building trusting relationships, advocating for my clients, and helping them remain safe, independent, and well-supported at home is what continues to inspire my work every day.
