I have over 15 years at the bedside and in hospital leadership positions as an RN in the Southwest and Midwest United States. I am a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nursing and Health Policy Fellow and completed my PhD in the RWJF nursing and health policy collaborative at the University of New Mexico. My current research focuses on how community coalitions address substance use and the meaningful use of technology in healthcare. The latter includes the development of software solutions and Narcan delivery drones.
