"It is not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing."
My educational philosophy is to be a facilitator/guide for my students on their learning journey. I do so by engaging them in fun and experiential learning opportunities that include group activities, simulations, seminars, and clinical rotations. Student feedback and suggestions shape and evolve my course allowing me to tailor a learning experience that fits their learning styles and needs.
My husband, Joe, and I have four, wonderful grown boys who keep us entertained and smiling. In my spare time I enjoy gardening, tennis, reading mystery novels, and traveling.
