I am an Advanced Practice Nurse who specializes in neurology, and I am very passionate about empowering the next generation of nurses to become health care leaders. I graduated from Georgetown University with a BSN degree, and from The Catholic University of America with an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner degree.
