I currently work in two elementary schools in the Cedar Rapids Community School District taking care of students from preschool to fifth grade. I became a nationally certified in 2015. I belong to Sigma Theta Tau, Gamma and Kappa Xi Chapters.
When I am at home, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching Iowa Hawkeye football and basketball, reading, and taking care of my cats.
Since being involved with school nursing, I have served on the Iowa School Nurse Organization board as Legislative Chair, President Elect, President, and National Director.
I am looking forward to retiring in the Spring of 2025, moving to North Carolina, and enjoying some sand and sun.
