PERSONAL:

I enjoy interacting with students in all settings. It is exciting to see nursing students that are eager to learn about how to promote health and support others in illness. I strive to incorporate Christian spirituality in all the courses I teach. I am an active member of Lake Orion Church of Christ. I am a certified Reflexologist. I have provided care to women and children as a lay midwife. I am pursuing certification as a yoga instructor. I enjoy running for physical health and stress relief. My two sons give me great joy and love. I also have a Welsh Corgi named Amber.
