Sassy Anesthesia

About Me

I am a Nurse Anesthesiologist, with a passion for nursing education, beauty, and travel. I believe there is a lesson to be learned from everything in our lives, and began this blog as an outlet to express those lessons and the emotions that come along with them – in addition to creatively keep myself busy after a traumatic hiking accident in 2016.

I graduated with my BSN at 21 years old in San Diego, CA. I started as a new grad in a high acuity Cardiac/Surgical/Trauma ICU and worked there for 4 years. It was here that I became extremely passionate about education and leadership. While in San Diego, I was a board member for the local AACN Chapter as marketing chair, and managed their social media accounts and website for 3 years. I then relocated to Phoenix for a change in scenery and to start life together with my husband! I worked in a very similar ICU as I did before, with patients of all kinds – medical, surgical, neuro, cardiac, and transplant. Lastly I finished my bedside career in a high-acuity CVICU downtown.

Another passion of mine is to TRAVEL as much as I can. I love emerging myself in new environments and culture. I have been to 20 countries and hit 4 continents so far.

I am so grateful to have connected with so many of you and appreciate you reading what I have to say. Your support of my blog means more than you know!

-Marissa
