Hello, my name is Makeda N. Wali. I am a full-time registered nurse, wellness care writer, and personal health consultant. My nursing education began after obtaining my Associate of Science Nursing Degree from Baltimore City Community College in 2009. I continued my nursing education in 2018 at Western Governors University by completing a BSN in 2020 and an MSN in 2021 with a track in nursing leadership and management. I have been a member of the American Nurse Association since 2008 and the Sigma Theta International Honor Society of Nursing since 2020.

Early in my professional nursing career, I was tasked with creating and presenting my learning materials for health classes for individuals in a community program. I have provided health and wellness education on disease prevention, medication management, chronic disease management, and classes for newly diagnosed disorders.

My experience in the field of nursing includes rehabilitation, long-term care, community health, psychiatric nursing, post-surgical nursing, nursing management, and various fields within medical-surgical nursing.

My nursing education taught me to incorporate different learning styles throughout the material I have presented so that anyone who signed up for the classes could understand and retain the information.

I became a wellness care writer early in my nursing career when I had to facilitate weekly health teaching classes on different health topics for a group of individuals who lived in the community. On my part, that came with a lot of research on health topics, utilizing the techniques of putting the information in lay information so that my learners can retain the information, and creating learning packets to present to the group. My role has changed from the community to inpatient work at several Baltimore City and county hospitals, and I have worked for a few months in California.

In my spare time, I continue to write comprehensive wellness care information on health-related issues for individuals interested in learning more about health-related topics. My goal is to increase health literacy so that you can know how an illness or ailment is treated. In addition, I offer practical solutions to individual health problems.

My wellness ebooks aim to increase health and wellness literacy, inform about treatment options, and provide comprehensive information on health-related topics, affording my readers to make informed choices about health.

HEALTH PRESS CAFE' was born out of increasing health literacy with an online ebook store and personalized wellness care consultations. My blog, SunValley Nursing, provides health information and wellness care tips.
