Bio: I began my nursing career in 2005 working on an intermediate cardiac telemetry unit. On this unit I learned that I have a passion for teaching, patients and nursing students alike. I embarked on my journey to become an educator in 2010 at which time I accepted my first higher education teaching position. Since then, I have educated nursing students in the classroom and in the clinical setting to prepare them for the day they will provide patient care as a registered nurse. I have taught for the last 12 years in undergraduate nursing and have recently transitioned to graduate nursing, helping to prepare future advanced practice nurses, nurse leaders, and doctors of nursing practice.

Success Managers: Continuing Education staff is available during weekday hours (8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. CST) for one-on-one support for technical and administrative challenges.
