Biography
Not known for being a wall-flower, I believe in the power of a positive attitude and a smile. I keep centered through my loving husband, my three rambunctious children and being outdoors in my organic garden. My practice experience includes Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, Liver Transplant, Medical Surgical, High Risk Pregnancy, Diabetic Education and Telemetry. I started my health care journey as an EMT, but came to love nursing for the continuation of care aspects. I have worked both inpatient and outpatient at different stages of my nursing journey.
Teaching
I started my teaching journey as an Adjunct Professor for Nova Southeastern University until 2019. I then was an Assistant Professor and Clinical Coordinator for Chamberlain University. I taught Introduction to Nursing, Medical Surgical, Pediatrics, and Community Health. I joined Florid Atlantic University in August of 2022.
