From Workplace Chaos to Career Confidence
Coaching nurses through the survival skills nursing
school didn't teach
About me

Background
Background
With 27 years of emergency medicine experience and 12 years as a nursing instructor, I've seen the gap between nursing school preparation and workplace reality from both sides. I've worked the chaos of ER shifts, navigated workplace challenges, and taught thousands of nursing students. After watching brilliant new graduates struggle with skills that nursing school simply doesn't teach, I made it my mission to bridge that gap. I help new grad nurses develop the professional communication, energy management, and workplace navigation skills they need to not just survive, but thrive in their nursing careers.
Skills
Background
Background
My unique combination of clinical expertise and educational background allows me to translate real-world nursing challenges into practical, learnable skills. I specialize in helping new grad nurses master professional communication (including how to speak up when you're "just the new grad"), energy management techniques for sustainable 12-hour shifts, and workplace navigation strategies that build credibility quickly. Having survived every challenge new nurses face—from difficult colleagues to life-or-death decisions—I provide practical solutions that actually work in the real world of nursing.

Interests
When I'm not coaching nurses or writing the next episode of Unfiltered, you'll find me taking afternoon walks (my best thinking time), yoga, gardening and traveling for speaking engagements. I'm passionate about building resilient nursing careers and believe that taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's essential for taking care of others. I love connecting with nurses at all stages of their careers and am always excited to hear success stories from new grads who've learned to navigate their workplace with confidence.
