Biography
My nursing career has been full of adventures, with only the latest being teaching here at Finlandia University. I have experience in Med/Surg, Cardiac, ICU, CCU, Emergency Department, and management. I also have some experience as a fixed wing flight nurse doing patient transfers. I am married and have two grown daughters. My "home base" is in Marquette but have a secondary residence for during the school year. In my spare time, I love to go camping, read, sew and crochet. I love animal and have 2 rescue dogs at home.
