I grew up in Willingboro, New Jersey and went to JFK High School, a community very similar to Cheltenham where I help plan reunions and still have great friends. Originally I planned to be an Art Teacher but my dad convinced me to consider nursing and it was the best decision ever. I briefly went to the University of Miami and then nursing school in Orlando. At Jeanes Hospital, I worked for 35 years in many areas such as medical surgery and telemetry. I do home care work and Senior Care facility work.

In September of 2003 I started working at Cheltenham School District as a staff nurse and I've spent time at all of the schools in the district. Under the guidance of the Certified School Nurses, I've been able to learn so much about each student age group. Throughout each school year I assist with mandated health obligations and provide students with the best health care support.
