Q: What is your favorite thing about working at Delaware Tech?

"I love working with an awesome team of nursing professionals and working with the students."

Q: Why was it important for you to work at Delaware Tech?

"I have learned a lot about the role of a nurse as an educator in higher education."

Q: Do you have a favorite memory from your time at Delaware Tech thus far?

"My favorite memories come from the nurse pinning ceremony. When I was a Delaware Tech student, we did not have the pinning ceremony so to see this beautiful ceremony and our students dressed in all white with their pins on and their lamps lit is beautiful."

Q: What's something people may not know about you?

"People may not know that I worry about things more than I need to."
