About Me

Samuel Merritt University has been my home since 2010. Starting out as a ELMSN student to TA to adjunct faculty to full time faculty to FNP leadership, I have run through the the gambit of roles within the University. Doing so has allowed me to experience different levels of responsibility and gain a much needed student perspective. Armed with this unique perspective and my experience in the acute care setting as a cardiac ICU nurse and in the outpatient setting as a cardiac and primary care NP my goal is not only to pass on the knowledge necessary for students to become successful NPs, but to encourage students to find their passion within the NP field and to promote self exploration of medical knowledge.
