»¨¼¾´«Ã½

I have been blessed with a long nursing and nurse practitioner career and education that reached its high at »¨¼¾´«Ã½ in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program.

There is no ceiling to learning, and I continue to learn and grow at Pace as an associate professor in graduate nursing studies. As I explore and grow into the role of a full-time educator, I continue to provide care and grow my clinical skills. I hope to be a part of the Pace community for years to come, refine my teaching, and expand my knowledge. The dedication of those who have taught and mentored me will be paid forward. I have been very fortunate throughout my career, and I have much to share.

I have been at every level of direct patient care in nursing since the age of 16 as a Home Health aide, LPN, RN, ANP, AGACNP, and DNP. I am proud to be a nurse and now even prouder to add educator at »¨¼¾´«Ã½.

The student then became the teacher. Great role models at Pace.
