I graduated from Des Moines Area Community College in 1978 and have worked NICU since starting my career. In 2008 I took an educator position for the NICU, which required me to obtain my Bachelors. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my BSN from Regis University in Denver Colorado. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Aspen University in Denver Colorado with my Master's in Nursing Education in 2020. I am currently the Clinical Education Specialist for a Level III, 44 bed NICU
