Hello! I am an Assistant Professor within the School of Nur...

Hello! I am an Assistant Professor within the School of Nursing and Healthcare Leadership Department. I have experience within the business, marketing, sales, communications, and healthcare leadership programs (not all within MSUM) teaching undergraduate and graduate level students. Teaching has been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling positions I’ve ever had and I learn something new every day, which is refreshing. And I guess I was so influenced by other colleagues that I am now working on my doctorate degree. I will earn my EdD in Organizational Leadership and Healthcare Administration in the near future and look forward to accomplishing this goal. Prior to academia, I have extensive experience as a territory sales manager for a variety of biotech companies. I have experience in almost all of the clinic/hospital specialties there are, so it has been fun getting a glimpse into many medical areas as I have learned so much. I've loved being involved on the business side of healthcare and have often felt as though I had been educating versus selling much of that time. I'm thrilled to shift gears and focus my efforts within the academia realm, and I enjoy working with students to bridge that gap from the corporate world to the classroom. I look forward to working with many of my colleagues here at MSUM and look forward to working with students in each of my classes as well.
