SCHOOL NURSE
Meet your nurse!
This is my second year as Shawnee's school nurse! My previous experience has been in OB/GYN, which is still one of my passions but have quickly learned that school nursing is my purpose. I grew up and currently reside in Jonesboro, IL, with my husband, daughter, pupper, Luna and kitty, Kleo. We are hosting an exchange student this school year, Enma. She is from Spain and has fit right into our family. In our free time we like to ride our Harley, grill, and spend time with family and friends. Please always reach out to me with concerns or questions!
