I am passionate about providing holistic care, empowering individuals to make informed health decisions, and advocating for the health needs of the university community.

Education: MSN, Nursing Informatics, Western Governors University; BSN, Aurora University; SANE Training, Duquesne University

Nursing experience: 7 years in juvenile corrections and AU Health Services Nurse since November 2021.

About me: As a Spartan alumni, I love being back on campus to help students stay well throughout their college career. Staying well is more than physical wellness, it is social connectedness, balancing the stressors of life, living in the moment, and so much more. As your Health Services Nurse, I will work with you to navigate your healthcare choices and ways to keep you healthy at AU and beyond.

After hours, I enjoy spending time with my spouse and 2 young boys. I enjoy gardening, baking, camping, hiking, and natural history museums.
