Biography
I am a certified pediatric nurse practitioner with both clinical and academic experience. Academia is my passion and I believe the nursing profession and healthcare need to place more emphasis on the strong impact educators have on graduating caring and competent nurses for the next generation.
A good nurse always cares... and does their physical exams!
