Obtained an associate degree in nursing in Arizona, and moved back to Peoria to begin practice. Worked as a bedside nurse in orthopedics and case management. Enjoyed working with the students during clinical on the orthopedic unit, and was encouraged to return to school in order to obtain a Masters Degree and teach students.
