Additionally, I have over 25 years of leadership experience, encompassing healthcare and in higher education. As of June 2022, I retired from Capital Community College having been the Division Director of Nursing and with 25 years of teaching experience. I served as a member of CLN’s Program Committee for over six years, and for the CLN/CCNW Board of Directors since 2018. Additionally, have been a board member for the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses, St. Thomas Catholic Elementary School, University of Hartford’s Advisory Board and Goodwin College’s Advisory Board. In November 2018, I was inducted as a fellow into the Academy of Associate Degree Nursing. Currently serving as an adjunct faculty at Capital Community College, Charter Oak State College, and the University of Hartford. Most recently appointed Program Director, CT Center for Nursing Workforce to develop and launch the New FT Nurse Faculty Preparation Course in May, 2023.

As a Board member, how can you contribute to the mission of CCNW which is to foster collaborations to ensure a highly educated, diverse, and sustainable nursing workforce to support the healthcare needs of CT residents?
