Biography

Graduating in 1995 from Mount Saint Mary College with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, I then completed my nurse practitioner training at New York University in 2001. Shortly after graduation, I developed a primary care home visiting practice throughout NYC, growing to become the largest nurse practitioner house call practice in New York State, performing over 50,000 house calls after more than 20 years of service. I graduated from Rutgers University with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in 2017, and taught part time at the University until becoming a full-time faculty member at ̨ÍåSWAGUniversity, where I currently have the privilege of teaching masters and doctoral students in the Lienhard School of Nursing.
