Biography

After retiring from teaching high school Earth Science and study skills for 29 years, the opportunity to collaborate with young medical students to help them achieve their goals was appealing to me. When not working with students, I am pursuing the EdD degree in the area of rural healthcare disparities, specifically, why students choose to attend a regional (rural-focused) medical campus. Outside of my academic pursuits, my free time is filled with gardening, painting ( 2-D acrylics, pastels, and watercolors); and spending time with my sister and my husband of 30 years.
