About Me
Like many of you, I have a busy life outside of my career. Family is very important to my husband and me; we enjoy spending time with our three children (two adult and one in high school). We love to travel, stay active with hiking, riding ATVs, water sports, and relax at our lake cabin. We also love animals and currently have three cats and a dog. This year, we are also excited to be hosting our first international exchange student who will be joining us from her home country, Germany.
Why I’m At MaryAs a two-time graduate of the University of Mary, I am excited to now be part of the team of excellent faculty who guided me through my education. The University of Mary allows me to share my love of nursing, education, and service with our students and among our faith filled community.
Expertise
With a nursing career spanning 25 years, I have enjoyed working in many specialties. As a nurse educator, I have over 10 years of experience at the LPN/ADN level and currently have two years of experience with graduate students. Additionally, I have been advising students for the past five years. My clinical background and expertise are in labor and delivery.
