SWAG视频 Me

I am a lifelong learner passionate about nursing and education. Always having a strong love of caring for children, I naturally found myself navigating towards a nursing career in pediatrics during my undergraduate nursing program. I have nine years of educational experience in the health sciences field and 17 years of experience as a registered nurse in pediatrics, rheumatology, and research.

Why I鈥檓 At Mary

It has truly been a blessing to be called to a university that is built off of a relationship with God and serving others. Using the guiding principles of the Benedictine values, my goal is to instill a love for nursing and lifelong learning in every student.

Expertise

I have expertise working in an acute care setting with pediatric patient populations, including oncology/hematology and pediatric intensive care. I have also worked in an outpatient rheumatology setting, including providing therapeutic intravenous infusions and overseeing several clinical research studies, and I have expertise working in a secondary education setting, providing instruction and curricular alignment in the areas of CNA and medical-related careers courses.
