I am a Certified Perioperative Nurse (CNOR) in active clinical practice. My legal consulting work is grounded in current perioperative nursing practice, medical record review, and experience in hospital and ambulatory surgical settings.

When a matter involves operating-room or perioperative nursing, I bring current clinical experience to the review, including attention to positioning, counts, documentation, handoffs, team communication, equipment, and the sequence of events surrounding a procedure.

Clinical Background

I currently practice in hospital and ambulatory surgical settings, focused on perioperative workflow, surgical safety processes, team communication, and documentation.

How I Support Legal Matters

I review records, organize clinical timelines, and identify nursing and perioperative issues that warrant further analysis.

  • Medical record review

  • Medical chronologies

  • Perioperative and operating-room nursing analysis

  • Expert identification and coordination

Expert opinions are limited to matters consistent with my education, training, and clinical practice.
