Educational History

• MS - Boston College
• BSN - University of Massachusetts, Boston
  

As a BSN graduate from University of Massachusetts, Boston in June 1994, I began my nursing career as a Registered Nurse on the High Risk Ante-Partum unit at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, where I still work, per diem, today.  After four years of full time work in the hospital, I began to pursue a Masters degree from Boston College.  Upon the completion of my MS and earning my credentials as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, a former professor/mentor from Boston College contacted me and invited me to join the staff of BC as a part-time clinical instructor.  In the spring of 2002, I began my teaching career where I continued to teach part-time as a clinical instructor until June 2007.  At that time I was offered a full time position on the faculty of BC as a clinical instructor.  I am delighted to again be a member of the BC community, because this coincides with my career goals; I intend to pursue a PhD in Nursing, and I hope to study the effects of low BMI on preterm labor in pregnancy.
