About Me

My career – An adventure I didn’t plan

I graduated from nursing school in 2000 and went to work in the emergency department. I soon decided that I that I wanted to run that ED someday… thankfully that never happened.

Over the next 25 years, I would become a charge nurse in that ED, I’d do informatics for a few years, go back to the bedside, transfer to interventional radiology, leave nursing for a year… that’s a whole story of it’s own. After this “break” I went back to the bedside in the ED, then I’d spend a few years in outpatient oncology before moving into education at a local hospital.

After moving into education I obtained my BSN and then my MSN in nursing education. I then spent a while teaching at a local university, before going back into the hospital educator role, which is my current full-time job. Oh, and I’m also an adjunct instructor, teaching a lab at UCF.

Throughout my career, I’ve taught and precepted so many nursing students, new nurses, and experienced nurses. Now, I look forward to working with you.
