Interests

I am an avid reader, and I particularly love to read books and novels by Sidney Sheldon, John Grisham, Ben Carson and Nicholas Sparks. I also enjoy researching effective strategies for implementation for the nursing programs to enhance the success of our students in the programs and first-time NCLEX licensure exam success.
I enjoy spending time with family, especially during the holidays and watching my grandchildren’s sports games, including soccer, softball and baseball. My beloved pets are my fur babies, and they are very spoiled!
My new favorite vacation spot in not so far away! I just love the Outer Banks, and I plan to return there at least once yearly for a bit of rest and relaxation. I am also very involved in my church choir.
