I graduated from St. Çï¿ûÊÓƵ in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). After graduation, I began working as a registered nurse in Obstetrics (OB) Services at Genesis Health System–Silvis Campus (now MercyOne Genesis). In 2014, I was promoted to evening shift charge nurse in OB Services. In 2018, I earned a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a focus on Nursing Education from Lewis University. The following year, I began serving as an adjunct nursing instructor at St. Çï¿ûÊÓƵ. In 2020, I transitioned to a full-time role as a clinical instructor of nursing at St. Çï¿ûÊÓƵ. I was promoted to Clinical Assistant Professor in 2023.
