College of Nursing Faculty and Staff
Fostering Academic Excellence
Nursing education is continually changing as health care technologies advance. Our faculty and staff are attentive to these changes and work to prepare student nurses to meet the demands of a more globally aware and diverse society. Our faculty stay up-to-date on teaching methodologies and skills as well as laboratory equipment to be current with contemporary nursing practice and to prepare our students for the future of health care.
To provide our students with an engaging and innovative learning environment, we cultivate partnerships within higher education, regional and national health care organizations and state agencies to assure quality education and to develop curriculum that improves health and health care.

Assistant Professor of Nursing and Family Nurse Practitioner
I am originally from Sheboygan, WI but I have lived in Eau Claire for close to a decade. I graduated from UW-Stout with a BS in Health Wellness and Fitness. You will find me outside in any weather hiking, running, cycling and camping. There's no such thing as "bad weather", only great gear. A quote I live by is "Voluntary exposure to that which freezes and terrifies you in measured proportions is curative" - Jordan Peterson.
