I am a certified registered nurse anesthetist and I specialize in the anesthetic management of transgender affirmation surgeries. I identify as a lesbian and I am proud to serve the LGBTQ community. I am currently a doctoral student in The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing Executive Doctor of Nursing Practice Program. I will be implementing an educational intervention that will increase the preoperative and intraoperative health professionals knowledge, attitudes, competence, and comfort when providing care to transgender individuals.
