Presently, I direct our graduate program in Nursing Administration.  Teaching at UT Arlington has been one of the most rewarding challenges of my career. As faculty, I teach many of the nursing administration classes and believe our students are being educated to lead the future of health care. It is a wonderful time to be in nursing and the work opportunities are incredible in terms of availability, enjoyment, and financial rewards. Outside of work I am wife and mother. My interests are travel, reading, church, and especially my 7 grandchildren.
