Hi! I'm Palma
I’m a professional nurse and earned my Doctorate in nursing (DNP) in 2019 with a focus on health systems at the University of Iowa. My passion for eradicating bullying behaviors occurred way before my two-year personal experience of workplace bullying.
With the increase of cyberbullying, pressure in schools, and stress in the workplace, my goal is to provide a safe place for people to talk about the effects of bullying and seek support and advice from others, right here.
My focus and mission with Switch off Bullying is to bring awareness to the harmful effects of bullying behavior, create a safer and healthier work environment through education, legislation, and research.
I have the opportunity to educate nursing students and nurse residents on workplace bullying. I continue to work with my work colleagues on creating healthier work environments and empowering staff to speak up when they are experiencing bullying behaviors.
Together we can start making a difference to decrease the prevalence of bullying and someday put an end to it. We just have to start.
