Summary

I started my career as a staff nurse on a busy pediatric unit, which was a step down unit for neuroscience and neurology patients. After ten years, I moved into OB/GYN and newborn nursing, and have been working as a primary nurse with premature babies in the Special Care Nursery and ill newborns. I also work as a Nursing Instructor for Simmons University and am currently teaching at The Brigham and Woman's Hospital on the Postpartum Unit. I am also working as a nurse liaison educator between the HOPE Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Maternal-Child Unit.
