我的妈妈、奶奶和我们家族的所有人——都是老师!我拒绝走这条路，去了护士学校....不到两年我就开始教书了。我开始在医院当医生，然后教临床小组，然后是理论。我天生就喜欢教书，即使我试图避免教书……这是我的基因!我15岁就开始教书了。我从小就展示四分之一的马，并发现了教孩子和成人马术技能的热爱。我很快就建立了自己的企业，在大学暑假回家的几个月里，我与30多个家庭合作过。我有一段美好的教学时光，所以当我以前的老师来找我，问我是否考虑教护理时，我想，“为什么不呢?!”我很喜欢它，已经常年教了10多年了。我爱学习，就像我爱教学一样，他们相互促进。 I have to stay on my toes to teach and so I'm constantly learning new things. When asked what my favorite thing to teach is...that's a hard question! I'd have to say I'm most passionate about kids and teens. I'm also very interested in psychological aspects of growing up. It's challenging! This being said I love working with people of all ages on Nursing and Psychology. I also enjoy teaching kids science. My background....I wasn't sure what I "wanted to do with my life" so I did my first Bachelors degree in "Social Sciences with a minor in Chemistry". The chemistry minor fell into place as i did a pre-medical track with that degree. After working as a Nursing Assistant for two years I decided my heart was in working in Nursing and not Medicine. That led way into my 2nd Bachelors-Nursing. I immediately started a Nurse Practitioner Program in Pediatrics following completion of my Nursing degree. I've worked lots of hours as a registered nurse in many settings as well as a nurse practitioner providing care to children.
