Research Abstract
I have been a Family Nurse Practitioner since 1991 and earned a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from The George Washington University.
I began my career as an educator in 1993, and have been dedicated to teaching outstanding nurse practitioners since that time. As a Clinical Professor at UC Irvine since 1995, I have held a variety of leadership positions within Nursing Science, and have developed and taught many of the core courses for the Master of Science/ Nurse Practitioner program.
My clinical practice focus is in urgent care; I have practiced in a variety of settings within UC Irvine Health, with a variety of patient populations. Currently, I practice at Gottschalk Medical Plaza.
