Elizabeth Boyd

I am a registered nurse with more than a decade of experience, including caring for pediatric patients throughout my nursing career. Before becoming a nurse, I earned a degree in dance and taught children full time for three years. I will teach dance today, and I love creating a space where children feel heard, supported, and confident.

I'm excited to bring both sides of my experience to a full time school nurse role in Uxbridge. I would be a steady, approachable presence for students while working closely with families and staff to support their health and well being.
