I am an author, hospice specialist, legal nurse consultant, educator, and storyteller whose life’s work has been dedicated to understanding and serving people through some of their most meaningful, challenging, and transformative moments. Throughout my career, I have worked as a nurse, hospice specialist, coding specialist, teacher, supervisor, and legal nurse consultant, experiences that have given me a unique perspective on life, loss, resilience, faith, family, and the human spirit.

I am an author, hospice specialist, legal nurse consultant, educator, and storyteller whose life’s work has been dedicated to understanding and serving people through some of their most meaningful, challenging, and transformative moments. Throughout my career, I have worked as a nurse, hospice specialist, coding specialist, teacher, supervisor, and legal nurse consultant, experiences that have given me a unique perspective on life, loss, resilience, faith, family, and the human spirit.

As an author, I write across multiple genres including memoir, literature, mystery, thriller, science fiction, action and adventure, and children's literature. Regardless of genre, my stories are rooted in real-life experiences, compassion, and the lessons learned from decades of caring for others. Writing has become my way of listening, remembering, and making sense of the moments that shape our lives.

Living with my husband, John, and blessed with five children and fourteen grandchildren, I draw inspiration from family, faith, service, and the everyday stories that connect us all. Whether discussing the realities of caregiving, lessons learned from hospice work, the power of storytelling, the creative process, or finding purpose through life's challenges, I bring authentic experiences, practical wisdom, and meaningful conversations that resonate with audiences.

My goal is not simply to tell stories, but to inspire reflection, encourage resilience, and explore what it means to live with purpose, compassion, and gratitude.
