I'm an Associate Professor in the Nursing Department. I have taught at Nassau Community
College for 13 years. However, I have been a member of the ۰ıcommunity since 1975.
I moved from Chicago to Long Island in 1973 and applied to the ۰ıNursing Program
in 1974. To my surprise, I was accepted for the Fall 1975 class. Like our nursing
students today, I was married with a two-year-old child and wondered, “How could I
possibly manage this?” With the support of my family and the ۰ıfaculty, I graduated
in 1977. I started working as a RN at a local hospital in the Intensive Care Unit.
I went back to school after having two more children, earned a bachelor’s degree in
1994, a master’s degree in Science in 1999 and became an Adult Nurse Practitioner.
My fondest memory at ۰ıwas working with our Chair Dr. Joan Buckley. We taught together
for several years and she involved me in the first Nursing COIL project Fall 2015.
This collaboration was with the nursing school of Glasgow Caledonian University in
Scotland. So, in January 2016, eight GCU nursing students came to NY to visit NCC
during the winter intercession. We borrowed one of the ۰ıphysical education vans
to drive the students to the different events. Imagine two nursing professors driving
this van! Thanks to everyone in the ۰ıcommunity, ۰ıNursing was able to make sure
that these wonderful students had a visit to remember.
I have so much gratitude for the education I received at ۰ıand the opportunity to
share what I have learned over the years with my students. I started my nursing journey
at ۰ıin 1975 and I am still here. I have never regretted my choice of profession
or the school where it began.

I served in the United States Navy in Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, II and at Camp Pendleton with the 5th Marines. I was also deployed to Okinawa, Japan twice. Stateside, I knew that ۰ı has a reputation for being very military friendly, and when I got here, it was true.
