I have had the privilege and pleasure of working at Gonzaga students since 2001. My teaching responsibilities and opportunities for growth have spanned several programs: Family Nurse Practitioners and Adult Geriatric Nurse Practitioners in the MSN and DNP programs. I see my contributions as bridging the gap between practice, education, and research. As a DNP I am able to apply my education and expertise in leadership roles on the front lines of nursing, in clinical practice, teaching and research, and in health policy design and development.
