About Me

I started my nursing career at Samuel Merritt Hospital and have not strayed far, from "Pill Hill."  My goal, when entering nursing school was to become a Midwife.  Once I started practice, and discovered the joy of teaching students, and witnessing their Aha moments in learning, my career path changed. 

I received my MSN in 1994 along with my NCC Certification as a High Risk OB Nurse (now a retired certification). My first teaching gig was at the University of the Virgin Islands.  after 4 years and 5 hurricanes', I returned to the Bay Area and was the Women's Health Case manager for Hill Physicians Medical Group.  I became adjunct faculty in 2002 and full time faculty in 2004.  I still love those Ah Ha moments, with my students.
