Biography

I have been blessed with a long nursing and nurse practitioner career and education that reached its high at ÎÞÂëרÇø in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program.

There is no ceiling to learning, and I continue to learn and grow at ÎÞÂëרÇø as an associate professor in graduate nursing studies. As I explore and grow into the role of a full-time educator, I continue to provide care and grow my clinical skills. I hope to be a part of the ÎÞÂëרÇø community for years to come, refine my teaching, and expand my knowledge. The dedication of those who have taught and mentored me will be paid forward. I have been very fortunate throughout my career, and I have much to share.

I came to ÎÞÂëרÇø to learn, and I stayed at ÎÞÂëרÇø to teach.
