dog photoWelcome to another exciting year. I hope your summer was as fun and busy as mine. I am sure it went by too quickly, as mine did. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have not moved too far from home. I grew up in Evansville and went to the University of Evansville where I completed both my Master's and Bachelor's degree in Nursing.   I have been married to a great guy, Barry, for 18 years. He is a computer systems engineer - which comes in handy since I'm constantly tapping into his expertise to update my skills and improve my teaching delivery. I have two (of course, wonderful!) daughters, Lindsey and Meredith. I also have another four-legged "daughter" that I was talked into having a pug called Wrinkles.  I have also loved the areas of maternal child nursing.  I currently work at St. Mary's Medical Center on an as needed basis in the neonatal intensive care, pediatric unit, and pediatric intensive care unit.  I spend almost all of my free time watching my girls play the sports they are involved with, soccer, volleyball, and basketball.

Teaching has become my favorite job because I enjoy interacting with students and working within the University and clinical settings..
