- Nursing - RN-to-BSN (CFA only) Assistant Professor
I spent the first part of my nursing career working in acute care assuming both clinical and administrative roles. I have always been drawn to education and helping people reach their greatest potential: patients, families, nurses, and now nursing students. I find the transformation rewarding. I obtained my Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing from Augsburg University as well as my Master of Arts in Nursing with a focus on Transformational Leadership. I earned my Post-Masters in Nursing Education from Walden University with a focus on online education. The research I have conducted has focused on the role of the charge nurse as a leader, and ethical leadership practices. My philosophical beliefs towards health and wellness are holistic in nature and incorporate the use of alternative therapies. I have been practicing healing touch and working towards my certification in that area. Reviewed 5/14/23
