This is my first year as the BMMS school nurse, although I have been a school nurse for about 3 years. I am a Blue Mountain graduate. I have been a registered nurse since 2012 and previously worked at Tower Health Reading Hospital and have experience in pediatric home health as well. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from Chamberlain University in 2014 and am currently a student in a Master's of Nursing program at Millersville University.
I am married and am a mom to 3 girls and some furry and feathered friends at home. I enjoy spending time with my family and reading mystery books when I have free time.
I look forward to working with you as parents and caregivers, teachers, and staff to help students with chronic health issues remain in school as well as taking care of students who experience acute injuries or illness throughout the school day. I encourage an open line of communication in order to address your child's health needs!
