I am a graduate of Carlow University in Pittsburgh, PA and Gwynedd Mercy University in Gwynedd Valley, PA. I received my ADN at Gwynedd and then later went on to pursue my BSN and MSN degrees with a focus of Family Nurse Practitioner at Carlow University while raising 2 children as a single mother. I have had the pleasure of teaching nursing students in the clinical setting and preparing them for their nursing boards. I have served as a mentor to many RNs, NPs, and PAs. I have helped prepare NP students for their FNP boards. I have a background in writing children's picture books and starting a blog on WebPress. I can help with organizational skills as well. I am returning to school in the Fall 2024 at UCF for my DNP in order to teach at the graduate level in the collegiate setting. I am a firm proponent of education. I believe it to be necessary to improve one's quality of life. I will try to impart this appreciation to all my students. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, going on long walks with my puppy, swimming, traveling, and lifting.

I am an inquisitive and adventurous person who believes everyone should make the most out of their lives. That being said, I enjoy sky diving, scuba diving, skiing, snorkeling, and ATV riding. However, I also enjoy watching a good movie, learning about our history, and reading a mystery novel.
