Nurse executive & health strategist | Expert in public health & policy | Faculty, curriculum, editorial experience

Profile Summary

I am a nurse executive and health strategist with 30 years of experience spanning public health leadership, workforce policy, curriculum development, and consulting. As the former Chief Nurse Officer of the U.S. Public Health Service, I led national nursing policy and systems transformation efforts, providing strategic guidance to federal agencies, academic institutions, and healthcare organizations. My expertise includes health policy, social determinants of health, nursing education, equity-driven systems change, and evidence-based program design. Research Projects: I have contributed to and led research initiatives focused on nursing workforce demographics, public health nursing impact, health equity, disaster recovery, and systems alignment. Recent collaborations include studies on the U.S. Public Health Service nursing workforce, disaster recovery and community preparedness, and the integration of equity into nursing education and practice. I have also served as a peer reviewer and editorial board member for national nursing and public health journals. Education & Additional Details: My educational background includes a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in Educational Leadership, a Master of Public Health (MPH), and both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nursing. I have held faculty appointments at Morgan State University and Walden University, developed and reviewed curricula for academic programs, and regularly deliver keynotes, workshops, and lectures nationwide. My ongoing work centers on advancing health equity, supporting leadership development for nurses, and providing expert review for health-related educational content and digital health initiatives.
