Through the course of my career, I have gleaned that my heart’s passion is to train, equip, encourage, and mentor nurses, students, and educators as they provide quality care to others and each other.  As a practitioner, I have fulfilled diverse roles including staff nursing, home health, adjunct clinical instructor, and currently full-time faculty at my alma mater.  My primary role is within the undergraduate BSN and RN-BSN programs.  Moreover, I serve with ATI as a NCLEX-Specialist and Live Reviewer.  Because of my dedication to student success, I have received multiple teaching excellence awards.  Lastly, I fill my spare time with family and completing my PhD through the University of Northern Colorado.
