SWAGÊÓƵ Me

Being in this role is the perfect balance of my passion for nursing and education. Lifelong learning is part of the human experience, and serving as part of a student's journey is a privilege. Like most things in life, teaching is best done as a collaborative effort, not within a silo. This lends itself to the benefit of colleagues with a shared vision. 

Why I’m At Mary

The University of Mary is an extraordinary place. I value the atmosphere of caring, mutual respect, and attention to the Christian worldview. The Benedictine spirit is alive and well.

Expertise

Registered nursing experience includes inpatient maternal-newborn nursing, pediatrics, nurse management, occupational medicine, and pre-surgical screening. I've been in nursing education for eight years, teaching at the PN/ADN level and, most recently, the doctorate level.
