About
Registered Nurse || Licensed Nursing Home Administrator || Over 15 years of experience in long-term care leadership, regulatory compliance, and clinical operations. || Certified Legal Nurse Consultant and Expert Witness || I provide clear, credible analysis and testimony in healthcare and nursing home litigation for both plaintiff and defense counsel.
I am a Registered Nurse and Licensed Nursing Home Administrator. My education consists of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Marywood University and a Master’s in Healthcare Administration from Capella University. I am licensed to practice nursing in the State of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. I am also a Certified Director of Nursing Services by the American Association of Post Acute Care Nursing. I have nursing experience in acute care, geriatric psychiatric care and skilled nursing/ long-term care. Since 2008, I have held positions of Licensed Practical Nurse, Registered Nurse, RN Unit Manager, Director of Nursing and Nursing Home Administrator.
I am currently employed as a Regional Clinical Director where I oversee the operations of seven skilled nursing facilities, eight assisted living facilities and four home health programs. My day-to-day job duties include review of clinical policies and procedure, the writing of new policy and overall operations of 15 licensed facilities.
Methodology & Approach
My approach to expert work is grounded in objectivity, preparation, and credibility. I conduct thorough reviews of medical records, regulatory requirements, and testimony to develop well-supported opinions that reflect accepted standards of care and real-world clinical practice. I focus on clear, honest communication and practical explanations that resonate with attorneys, judges, and jurors, ensuring complex healthcare issues are presented accurately, confidently, and in a manner that supports informed decision-making.
Expert Witness Experience
I provide expert witness and legal nurse consulting services that combine clinical credibility with clear, relatable communication. Drawing on more than 15 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, Director of Nursing, and Nursing Home Administrator, I am able to translate complex medical and regulatory concepts into language that jurors can easily understand.
I connect with jurors as people by explaining not only what happened clinically, but why it mattered to the individuals involved. This ability to humanize the facts, while maintaining objectivity and accuracy, supports informed decision-making and contributes to clear, persuasive testimony that leads to successful legal outcomes.
