I started my journey at SUNY Nassau in 2001 as a student myself. In fact, I have now taught in some of the same classrooms I was once a student in! I teach Introduction to Physical Geology, Historical Geology, Field Lab Geology, and Beaches and Coasts.
I'm honored to have been chosen as a SUNY Chancellor's Award Recipient for Excellence in Faculty Service. In addition to teaching my students, I also enjoy coordinating and hosting the Annual Science Fair held each year on campus. I am constantly amazed and inspired by some of my prior professors, who I'm now colleagues with today!

Going to Nassau put my head back on my shoulders after I transferred home from Marquette, I thought the work load would be light and the classes would be easy but I was mistaken.

I am truly thankful for the 港澳宝典Nursing Program. As a New Grad they told us the first year of nursing would be hard, but nursing in a pandemic is something else. Working in an acute care setting and having an abbreviated orientation to my hospital, unit, and operating system has truly been a completely stressful and difficult situation.
