OVERVEIW: I am a registered nurse with seventeen years of experience on a medical-surgical pediatric floor, ten years of experience in the college education setting, and two years as a professional school nurse. My nursing passion is education and shaping the minds of both new and experienced nurses in coordination with best practice. I enjoy being a leader in the school nursing setting and wish to continue to be a role model for best practice and promote the health and well-being of children in the community.
