The Nightingale Project
On October 8, 2024, I woke up blind, leading to a scary, months-long hospital experience without clear answers. However, my nurses’ tireless and kind care was a total game-changer, making it less frightening. This experience sparked a huge idea: The Nightingale Project.
Nursing is tough—injuries are common, resources and support are lacking, and we're losing a million nurses by 2030! This podcast is dedicated to fixing that. Join me as I share stories, interview nurses, and dive into how we can improve the lives of nurses and inspire others to enter the field.

In this episode, I catch up with Sterling Wilmer, a great friend and mentor who is a mental health nurse at Johns Hopkins while earning her doctorate. She has also been involved in pageantry, serving as Miss Montgomery County 2024. We discussed her busy schedule, self-care, and the intersection between nursing and pageantry.
