I have been working in the area of labor and delivery, women's health, and home health nursing over the past 10 years. During this time, I decided to obtain my MSN in nursing education from Ball State University. Upon completion of my degree, I began working as a full-time faculty member of Ivy Tech Community College teaching lecture and clinical for the obstetrics and pediatrics course as well as fundamentals, mental health, and a few other courses. I have recently begun my Ph.D. program in Nursing and hope to research areas related to women and infant health, health disparities, and systems improvement in healthcare.
