I am a proud graduate of Shenandoah High School. I graduated from Anderson University with my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and have been a Registered Nurse for almost 20 years! My background is in ICU/post-op. I live in the area with my husband and two children. My two children attend Shenandoah and are proud to be RAIDERS as well! I absolutely love interacting with all of the students/staff at Shenandoah and seeing many of them out in the community at events. I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and watching my kids participate in sports and other extra-curricular activities.
