Fast Facts
I love being a nurse, midwife, and psychiatric nurse practitioner. I love our Lord and Saviour. I love teaching graduate nursing and teaching at AU. The University provides excellent education while being supportive of its students, faculty and staff, and honoring its Christain values.
As a nurse and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner caring for people at their worst times often, you have to love and want to care for people. The career is so rewarding but hard at times. The love of nursing and of people make the difficult times small compared to the rewards.
Speaker Flint River Nurse Practitioner Conference-2024
I love our students. They are bright, motivated, and compassionate. I love seeing when it all comes together for them. The progress from spring semester to fall semester is astonishing.
