As a legal nurse consultant, she has reviewed records for plaintiff and defense matters, including merit reviews in wrongful-death and falls-with-injury cases in long-term care, rehabilitation and skilled nursing, prepared written opinions on nursing standards, and testified as an expert on nursing standards of care.
