My nursing career started at the University of Florida on a medical/surgical unit, where I later transitioned to neurosurgical critical care. I am a Certified Critical Care RN and most recently worked full-time at OHSU in the neurosciences ICU. At OHSU, I precepted graduate nurses and new-to-specialty nurses.

As a nursing student, I was a peer tutor and knew early on in my nursing career that I would want to teach one day; then, I became an adjunct clinical instructor, where I developed a passion for teaching. At Linfield, I teach care of patients with acute conditions and simulation. I am excited to share my expertise and passion for nursing with students and have an exponentially more significant effect on patient care through teaching.
