That experience shaped everything about how I teach today. I earned my BSN from Southern University, then completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice at the University of Arizona and board certification as an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. My doctoral work on provider adherence to hypertension guidelines in African American adults was nominated for the AANC Outstanding DNP Project and earned the Mary Opal Wolanin Award for excellence in nursing with vulnerable populations. Clinically, I've practiced outpatient cardiology — coronary artery disease and ischemia, heart failure, lipid and hypertension management, and arrhythmias — and I currently serve as a cardiovascular Medical Science Liaison, translating cardiac science for physicians and advanced practice providers. Along the way, colleagues and students kept pulling me aside with the same request: “Can you explain this to me the way you just explained it to the patient?” So I started drawing. Cartoons, analogies, and stories — because a bundle branch block explained through a picture beats a paragraph every single time. What began as unit teaching grew into precepting, clinical education leadership at Medical City Dallas, an adjunct faculty role at West Coast University, and finally Dr. G the NP, LLC — a national clinical education practice and approved continuing nursing education provider. Education & credentials ## Education grounded in clinical practice Doctoral training, national board certification, and active acute care licensure — the credentials behind every session. 2017 ### Doctor of Nursing Practice Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona DNP Project: Provider Adherence to JNC 8 Pharmacological Guideline Recommendations in African American Adults Diagnosed with Hypertension[View](http://hdl.handle.net/10150/626646) 2010 ### Bachelor of Science in Nursing Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College Baton Rouge, Louisiana Honors Graduate Inductee ### Board certifications - Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner–Board Certified (ANCC), 2018–2028 - Medical-Surgical Nurse–Board Certified (ANCC), 2013–2018 - Kansas Board of Nursing Continuing Nursing Education Provider, 2022–2027 ### Licensure & prescriptive authority - Oregon Board of Nursing — APRN & RN, 2025–present - Arizona Board of Nursing — APRN, 2025–present - Michigan Board of Nursing — RN & NP specialty certification, 2025–present - Michigan DEA registration, 2025–present - Texas Board of Nursing — APRN, 2018–present - Texas Board of Nursing — Prescriptive Authority, 2018–present - Texas DEA registration, 2021–present - Texas Board of Nursing — RN, 2011–present - Louisiana State Board of Nursing — RN, 2010–2020 Professional experience ## Fifteen years from the bedside to the main stage Medical-surgical staff nurse, charge nurse, clinical education specialist, cardiology nurse practitioner, adjunct professor, medical science liaison — every role added another layer to how I teach. 3 current roles 11 positions Current ### CEO, Founder & Lead Educator Dr. G the NP, LLC Irving, Texas · 2021 – present Current ### Medical Science Liaison, Cardiovascular Cardiovascular imaging industry Dallas, Texas · Aug 2025 – present Current ### Cardiology Nurse Practitioner Consultant Papaya Primary Care Brandon, Florida · Feb 2025 – present Career history 1. ### Cardiology Nurse Practitioner (Locum Tenens) Locum Tenens St. Joseph, Michigan · Mar 2025 – Apr 2025 2. ### Cardiovascular & Metabolic Medical Science Liaison Pharmaceutical industry Dallas, Texas · May 2023 – Oct 2024 3. ### Nurse Practitioner, Cardiology HeartPlace South Arlington — Cardiovascular Provider Resources Arlington, Texas · Oct 2018 – Apr 2023 4. ### Adjunct Professor West Coast University Irvine, California · Oct 2019 – Apr 2022 5. ### Medical Surgical Clinical Education Specialist Medical City Dallas Dallas, Texas · Jan 2017 – Sep 2018 6. ### Staff Nurse, Charge Nurse & Preceptor Methodist Dallas Medical Center Dallas, Texas · Sep 2012 – Nov 2014 7. ### Staff Nurse Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center Baton Rouge, Louisiana · May 2011 – May 2012 8. ### Staff Nurse Leonard J.

I remember standing in front of a monitor, terrified of being wrong in front of someone more experienced than me. I remember cardiac lectures that made me feel less capable, not more. And I remember the one educator who slowed down, drew me a picture, and changed how I saw the heart forever. That is the experience I try to recreate in every room I'm invited into. When a clinician truly understands what they're looking at, patients get recognized sooner, escalated faster, and treated better. Teaching one nurse well ripples out to every patient they will ever care for. ### Nobody learns while feeling stupid I teach in a room where questions are welcome and confusion is normal. Psychological safety is the prerequisite for learning anything hard — and cardiac care is hard. ### Complexity is a teaching failure, not a learner failure If a concept isn't landing, the explanation needs to change. I rebuild content until it makes sense to the person in front of me. ### Education should change practice by Monday Every session ends with something learners can apply on their next shift — not just something they enjoyed hearing. ## Looking for a speaker who leaves your audience more confident than they arrived? Tell me about your event and your clinicians, and I'll tailor a session to fit.
