Lorena Espinosa Smith, MSN, APRN, CPNP-AC
Nurse Practitioner
“Who’s your favorite on Paw Patrol?” or “Are you a Swiftie?” are the kinds of important questions that I enjoy answering first thing in the morning. I have been a PICU nurse for 15 years and have the privilege of serving the patients and families at CHLA for the last 8 years as a Nurse Practitioner. I truly enjoy connecting with children and their families and value the difference we can make together as a multidisciplinary team. When not at the bedside, you can find me at the beach or in the woods.
