Assistant Professor Associates Degree Nursing

About

I have been a Registered Nurse for nearly 14 years with most of my nursing background being in Emergency Medicine, Pediatric IMC, Pediatric Long-Term Care, and Clinical Nurse Management. I am certified as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in Pediatrics and have experience working with both children and adults. I have practiced in Maryland, Delaware, and California but have settled in to Harford County, Maryland to raise my family. I choose to teach at HCC because it allows me to work with students in the community in which I live. Additionally, I serve as a faculty advisor to both the Student Nurses Association and Gamma Upsilon.
