I have been a full-time nursing instructor at CCC since 2013. For the 2024-25 academic year, I will also be stepping into the role of Interim Director of Nursing & Allied Health.

I am a proud CCC graduate, earning my AAS in Nursing in 2002. I also have a BA in Journalism, an MBA in Marketing, and an MSN in Nursing Education. I am a dedicated lifelong learner!

I love being a nursing instructor at CCC because I can meld my decade of bedside nursing experience with teaching adult learners in a small-group, supportive, student-centered environment. This is truly my "dream" job!

I look forward to working with students to facilitate their ability to achieve personal, professional and academic goals. Please let me know how I can support YOUR success!
