I'm Dani.

I‘ve been a pediatric nurse practitioner for nearly a decade. I’m known for my dimples, my dedication to children’s health, my love of science, and for taking way too many pictures of my goldendoodle.

My passion is teaching moms practical pediatrics. This is what I fondly think of as the art and science of taking care of sick children at home. When it comes to children, there is nothing I love more than giving moms reassurance about what’s normal, and education to handle what’s not. I do this in the MomNurse Academy, where we turn moms into MomNurses who learn how to confidently take care of their children at home. That’s what makes my KidNurse world go round. I don’t want any mom left alone at home worrying about their baby, not knowing what to do. That’s what my KidNurse corner of the internet is dedicated to solve.

I’m a born and raised Arizona girl. I graduated from Arizona State University with my bachelor’s degree in nursing in 2009, followed by my master’s degree in nursing in 2010. Uniquely enough, starting college early allowed me to graduate as the youngest nurse practitioner in the country (hence the birth of my college nickname, KidNurse, which clearly stuck).
