LONG BIO
KELLY TUTTLE joined the “head injury survivors club” (as she described it) in 2015, the night another car pulled in front of her as she was driving. It wasn’t until three months later that she realized something was seriously wrong. Kelly’s traumatic brain injury (TBI) marked the beginning of a new life and personal journey of self-rediscovery.
A neurology nurse practitioner, Kelly has a front-row seat to observe patients struggling with many of the same things she experienced in her recovery. She strives to share her coping strategies and tools and help them continue to work and study while they heal. Kelly also wants TBI patients to know there is hope. She got better, and they can too.
Kelly is a member of the California Association for Nurse Practitioners, the California Association of Nurses/National Nurse United, and the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International. She earned her master of science in nursing from Gonzaga University and her bachelor of science in nursing from California State University, Fresno.
A longtime martial arts student, Kelly has a second-degree black belt in kenpō karate and a blue belt in Brazilian jujitsu. She is also an obsessed knitter without enough storage space for her yarn and a lover of adult coloring books and pencils.
This program is specifically designed to address the unique challenges and struggles of concussion and brain injury survivors who are looking to return to work. From cognitive brain recovery exercises to workplace advocacy, this science-based practical course provides you with all the tools and strategies to help you seamlessly and confidently ease into your work routine.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common occurrence that both healthcare professionals and laypeople should be aware of. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there were 69,000 deaths related to TBI in 2021, which amounts to approximately 190 deaths per day.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, one out of every four American adults lives with a disability (approximately 61 million), and since there are four million nurses in the U.S., a large percentage of nurses are also likely living with disabilities.
