Julie's Story: Host of Pushing Up Lilies

Every journey has a beginning, and this is mine. Before forensic nursing became a recognized specialty and long before crime scene television shows made forensics mainstream, I found myself drawn to a career that would ultimately change my life. In this very first episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I share how I went from working as an emergency room nurse to becoming a Forensic Nurse Death Investigator. I'll talk about the experiences that shaped my career, what inspired me to pursue death investigation, and why helping victims and their families find answers became my life's work.
