Autumn currently serves as a school nurse for Mesa Public schools supporting students at Highland Arts and Entz elementary schools. She began her school nursing career at Tonalea K-8 in the Scottsdale Unified School District where she worked for 1.5 years before transitioning to Mesa Public schools.
Prior to her work as a school nurse, Autumn dedicated her time to raising her daughters as a full time stay at home mother. Her passion for nursing began in the 1990's, when she worked for five years in a orthopedic surgeons office while attending high school and college. The clinical skills and knowledge she gained during that time continue to serve her well in the school setting.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Autumn participated in the NASN School Based Active Surveillance group for Chronic Absenteeism where she gained valuable insights into the growing issue of student absenteeism and its impact on public education.
Outside of her professional role, Autumn enjoys spending time with her family and is currently involved in remodeling her home.
