I began my appointment as a Clinical Associate in the School of Nursing in 1999. I am currently the Placement Coordinator for the School of Nursing. I have been a Clinical Educator in all years of the nursing program, supervising students in acute care and teaching Introduction to Clinical Nursing Practice and Nursing Care of Adults for Intercession

I am a 1997 graduate of the StFX BScN program. Following graduation, I traveled to Alberta and obtained a wide range of nursing practice experiences in acute care adult nursing at the University of Alberta Hospital. Like many Maritimers, I returned to Nova Scotia and added to tertiary care experience by practicing in a 10-bed hospital in rural Nova Scotia. I have also practiced in regional hospitals in Antigonish and nearby Truro. I am the mother of two adult daughters.
