Summary

I am a clinical Nurse Anesthetist with a diverse background of experience in administering anesthesia and providing education to students in the clinical setting. I am motivated to advance my career into education by becoming a professor at The University of Tulsa so that I can share the knowledge that I have gained with future CRNAs.
