Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse

I have been a Wound Ostomy Continence Nurse for over 35 years having a depth of knowledge and clinical insight caring for adults and children of all ages. My professional career spans diverse care settings, including acute care, post-acute rehabilitation, long-term acute care, and pediatric skilled nursing, translating evidence-based practice into real-world application. As a WOC Nurse I have led prevention initiatives for pressure injuries and maintaining healthy skin, developed policies and competencies, mentored nurses across disciplines, and educated interdisciplinary teams on complex skin and continence issues for adults and pediatrics. My expertise, combined with a passion for pediatric patient safety, family-centered care, and professional education, ensures a practical, engaging, and clinically relevant learning experience grounded in both science and decades of hands-on experience.
