I have spent over three decades immersed in healthcare, emergency medicine, and education—bridging the gap between hands-on patient care and medical innovation. As a nurse, paramedic, flight nurse, and clinical specialist, I have dedicated my career to treating patients in critical moments, training future medical professionals, and shaping the standards of modern emergency care.

Beyond the hospital walls, I bring my passion for storytelling to life through both technical medical literature and children’s books that celebrate the courage of first responders. My textbooks on trauma nursing and emergency medicine are trusted resources for healthcare professionals, while my children’s titles—such as A Star That Never Fades and When Daddy Tucks the Stars In—offer young readers tender, meaningful stories about bravery, sacrifice, and love.

Whether guiding a medical team, mentoring students, or writing stories that honor everyday heroes, I continue to make a lasting impact in both medicine and literature.
