I am the nursing Academic Advisor for the UW-Parkside/UW-Milwaukee Nursing Consortia. I also work with RN-BSN Completion students who live in the Racine, Kenosha, and surrounding areas. As a first-generation college student, I have a deep-rooted passion for helping students by supplying information and guidance to them to enrich their collegiate journey. I am an animal lover with three dogs (Ruby, Lucy and Brody) and two cats (Tilly and Ziggy). I enjoy spending time with my family, baking treats and being outdoors kayaking or hiking.
