BSN, RN | Founder & CEO, Edge Transportation
Nefertari Edge, BSN, RN, is an accomplished registered nurse, entrepreneur, and founder of Edge Transportation, a logistics company specializing in nationwide auto transport for travel nurses, healthcare agencies, and corporate clients. With 18 years of nursing experience, she deeply understands the realities of rapid assignments, relocation stress, and the critical need for seamless transitions in the travel-healthcare industry. Her clinical background allows her to uniquely bridge patient care, operational logistics, and customer experience — making her company one of the few nurse-led providers in this sector. Under her leadership, Edge Transportation delivers reliable, concierge-level vehicle relocation services that simplify the moving process for healthcare workers and the agencies that support them. As CEO, Nefertari is known for her hands-off, empowerment-focused leadership style. She provides clear direction while encouraging her team to use their creativity, initiative, and strengths to achieve exceptional results. Her journey into entrepreneurship was shaped by resilience, thick skin developed through years in clinical practice, and the determination to stand out in a fiercely competitive industry. One of her proudest achievements is building a thriving logistics company from the ground up — an accomplishment that reflects her commitment to service, innovation, and elevating the travel-nurse experience. She is also a proud member of the Women in Business Enterprise community, continuing to grow her impact as both a healthcare professional and business leader. Beyond her professional pursuits, Nefertari is passionate about travel — often returning to Jamaica, her favorite destination — and enjoys gardening, interior design, and spending quality time with friends and family. She believes deeply in creating balance, nurturing creativity, and leading with integrity. Whether she is advocating for nurses, supporting healthcare agencies, or expanding her company’s reach, Nefertari Edge remains dedicated to helping others arrive safely, transition smoothly, and thrive wherever their journey takes them.

Literacy means…
Literacy means being able to author your own life.
Favorite school memory
The hallway before first bell, when the whole building sounded like promise.
