Tell us a bit about what you do here at UNMC.
As a faculty member at the College of Nursing, Northern Division in Norfolk, Neb., I have taught both theory and clinical for Semesters I and III.
“Being a trusted resource” is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person or group “being a trusted resource” at UNMC.
Every working day I witness a great faculty that works together to provide a safe, learning environment for diverse students. In turn, I notice students who reciprocate the same respect for instructors, staff and peers.
What is your favorite spring activity?
I like to hide Easter eggs for my children and grandchildren, even though my children are young adults.
List three things people may not know about you.
- I moved in July from Scottsbluff, Neb., where I lived for 37 years.
- I like to hike especially in the Sandhills of Western Nebraska.
- I have a remote ranch in the Sandhills with a river running through it where my husband and I can hike all day (or week) without seeing another person.
