Brittany DiNatale, RN

Britt DiNatale is a second-degree nurse who spent a decade delivering nursing care in Emergency Departments around the Washington DC metro area following a successful executive-level career in corporate marketing and communications.

With a passion for nurse leadership development, Britt also co-created and facilitated the Nurse LEAD Program, which trained numerous cohorts of nurse leaders across the country to gain confidence in a wide range of skills from engaging teams, to navigating change, and communicating effectively.

Music has been a constant thread throughout Britt’s life, from her master’s degree in ethnomusicology studying how music shapes community and movement, to years performing as a semi-professional singer-songwriter in New York City. She sees music as a powerful channel for finding and experiencing your voice, creating space for emotional expression and authentic connection.

The thread running throughout Britt’s career is a passion to give the healthcare workforce, particularly nurses, a voice, advocating for improved work environments, reconnecting with the purpose and meaning of their work, and seeing nurses as change agents in needed healthcare transformation.

Britt also sits on ANA’s National Workplace Violence Prevention Workgroup and continues to follow her passion for musical performance by sitting on the Board of Trustees for Music for All Seasons, a non-profit using the power of live music to support communities in need. She will draw on this diverse background to offer participants creative pathways to reconnection and renewal.
