Biography
I have had a progressive career in nursing with beginning my nursing career as an LPN, and continued on to obtain my ADN, BSN, MBA and DNP. I have over 45 years of experience and a strong clinical background in critical care, emergency care and flight nursing. I served ten years in the USAFR and was active duty for Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. My leadership experience has been progressive for the past 32 years.
Personal Statement
I began my nursing career at the age of eight when my Grandmother taught me how to give bed baths, transfer patients, feed them and provide personal support to them. I never wanted to do anything else in my career. No matter what role I have been in, I come to work every day to ensure the patient gets the best care possible, clinically and emotionally. Being in academics, allows me to bring all the incredible experiences, opportunities and knowledge to the students so the legacy of my Grandmother can continue today.
