PERSONAL INTERESTS/COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
I lived on Long Island most of my life, with family roots in Western New York. I was happy to join the faculty of the new nursing program at St. Bonaventure in 2019 and I look forward to helping to raise the level of nursing practice through education and degree advancement.

“Nursing is a progressive art, such that to stand still is to go backward.”
