Bio
I have been at Concordia since 2009, joining the faculty full-time in 2011 after five years at UW Milwaukee, and some adjunct teaching at Moraine Park technical College. I have worked as a staff RN, Charge Nurse, and Patient Care Coordinator in an acute medical-surgical setting, and as a staff RN in long-term care. I have previous, and again presently, worked in home health care. I completed an ADN at Milwaukee Area Technical College, my BS-N completion at Concordia University Wisconsin, my Master’s Degree (MSN) at Alverno College in Milwaukee, and my PhD in education and curriculum development and assessment at Northcentral University in Arizona. My philosophy is that no student should fail, as long as they are putting the effort into the class work. I like the one-on-one approach in the classroom, and have found positive ways to achieve this in the on-line learning environment.
