Experience

I'm in my eighth year as school dean and thirtieth year as nursing faculty here at LC. I have taught primarily in adult health courses but throughout the years, I have taught in every field noted in the curriculum. During the early years at LC, I directed the RN-BSN program for RNs in the community with diplomas or associate degrees in nursing. I have served on most of the college committees and have been involved with accreditation visits and preparation for the College and the nursing program.

Professional Interests/Research

My professional interests include care of the elderly, healthcare reform, and preparing new deans/chairs for leadership roles in college settings. I am currently working with my colleagues to prepare for CCNE accreditation of our MSN program as well as a proposal to develop a RN-MSN program here at Lynchburg College.

Information on Courses Taught

I'm currently teaching Community Health Nursing and Alterations in Mental Health to senior nursing students.

Personal Info/Interests

When time permits, I enjoy working outdoors with yard work and flowers. I have interests in small-renovation home improvement projects and enjoy making old look new again.
