Giselle began her career as a Telemetry nurse and spent many years as an Informatics RN implementing electronic medical records for hospital systems in CT. In her most important role as a mom, she is dedicated to ensuring her kids are making good choices to support their physical, emotional, social & mental health. She lives in the Farmington Valley with her husband and kids ages 19, 17 & 11.
She embraces technology when used as a tool, and appreciates the many advances technology brings to healthcare and everyday life. However, we now have endless studies that are showing the damage screens have had on our children… their academics, relationships, and their mental health.
For the last 10 + years, she had been looking for solutions for her own family on how to limit screen battles by doing her own scattered research; listening to podcasts, reading articles and viewing websites. She became ScreenStrong certified last year and as an Ambassador & Speaker she is excited to share information and provide support on how to navigate the biggest parenting challenge in our culture.
