I've been a nurse since 2004, with experience in acute, community, and correctional nursing, pre-hospital medicine, security, and engineering. I've been a victim of workplace violence. As a result I am passionate about making worker's lives better by creating safer environments and giving you skills to deal with agitation when it presents itself. I want you to thrive at work instead of fear work.
