Biography

I have been a registered nurse for 37 years and look forward to teaching students in the Nursing Assistant program. I have worked in a variety of settings including nursing homes and hospitals. Since teaching, I've discovered that everyone has a unique learning style, so I aim to incorporate a variety of teaching techniques. Besides the regular lecture style, I like to have students work in groups and pairs to learn and interact. I use videos and case studies as well as my own personal experiences. I want to make sure every student succeeds. If I notice a student struggling, I will make sure to find out how I can best help the student learn and understand.

Earning your Nursing Assistant certification from Wisconsin allows students to transfer their certification to just about any other state. Completing the Nursing Assistant program can help students experience the healthcare field to decide if this is a field they want to pursue further, not just nursing. It’s a stepping stone/prerequisite to the Nursing – Associate Degree program.  

In my free time, I enjoy gardening, crocheting, sewing and spending time with her family and friends.
