Greetings students,

I enjoy supporting students in being successful wherever they are in their learning journey, and in achieving whatever they desire. I am a masters prepared nurse practitioner, who has been practicing for a long time, and taught nursing for almost 10 years. I appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed in any aspect of learning/studying within nursing, including with the certification exams. My most meaningful memories are those when I was learning, and had dedicated, patient and kind instructors, professors, mentors, preceptors
who took there time and had patience with me on my journey to academic success.

I received my bachelor's degree in nursing at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and my Master's degree at the University of Minnesota. Both are still in the list of top Big 10 universities, and they are BIG! I attained a BSN after 4.5 years of study at the UW, and I attained an MSN (Master's of Science in Nursing) with a specialty as a paediatric nurse practitioner. I did an extra year of Master study on a federal grant, and learned how to advocate for children who have complex medical conditions and developmental delays and their families within the health care system. Currently, I am building a practice where I supports individuals on their wellness journey.
By the end of the year, I hope to have the book that I am writing published.

I enjoy tutoring anything related to nursing, anatomy, physiology, physical assessment, and interpersonal and social topics that assist in supporting nurses and nursing students. I am passionate about helping young people gain and strengthen skills that they will need during after high school. I like witness in the success of any student, and in celebrating that.

In addition to tutoring nursing subjects, I am passionate about reading and writing, and enjoy tutoring english grammar, reading, writing and the sciences. I think reading and writing are important parts of how we learn about the world and in learning how we relate within it. In addition, I speak 2 other languages, and enjoy tutoring english to people who do not have english as a first language.

My teaching/tutoring philosophy centers around empowering the student to put in place successful processes to problem solve, so that when they aren't with their tutor, the student has a working way to solve a learning problem within themselves. I am patient, and enjoy getting to know my students so that I can tutor each individual according to their learning style. I believe that learning is life-long. I have strong communication skills so if you ever feel something is not clear or have a question, I enjoy processing questions with you.

I look forward to working with you! :-)
