I am a Master's prepared registered nurse with 18+ years of nursing experience. I also have experience teaching nursing students at the baccalaureate level in both health assessment and pediatrics courses.

I'm now a few years removed from academia, I still consider myself an intellect at heart.

Partnering up with Varsity Tutors has provided me with a golden opportunity to continue helping students ...More

I am very competitive and enjoy spending my time watching or playing sports and games.

I am pretty adept at relating most mathematics topics to real life and can definitely approach topics from various methods. In college, I struggled with calculus. It truly was "Greek to me."

As a teacher/tutor, I will work diligently to ensure my students understand and learn even the most difficult conc...More
