CRNA, MSN, APRN, ASPFM
I have been a CRNA for 21 years. For the past 6 years, I have proudly worked in an all-CRNA independent practice at a critical access hospital in NH, where I serve as the Lead CRNA and the Medical Staff President. We focus heavily on opioid-sparing techniques and regional anesthesia. All group members perform PNBs and are POCUS-certified. We are clinical preceptors to Nurse Anesthesia Residents from 2 anesthesia programs: Boston College and Northeastern University. Teaching regional anesthesia has become my passion, and I am excited to participate in future Maverick seminars.
