Personal
I am an advanced practice nurse trained as both a clinical nurse specialist and a nurse practitioner. I thrive in an environment where clear goals are set with a plan in place for achievement, even if the goals include program development. I have assumed leadership roles in education and staff development. I am detailed and self-directed with experience in assuming many tasks.
I have two young adult children who are studying at the university. I enjoy spending time with my children and grand dog, traveling, visiting museums, learning about world history and the development of civilization. Participating in community development activities, watching sports and documentaries and playing board games are other favorite pastimes. 6
