I started my career working as a student respiratory technician on the pediatric floor at Arnold Palmer Hospital.  Upon receiving my Bachelor's in Cardiopulmonary Sciences in 1991, I transferred  to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where I worked for the past twenty plus years. During that time I began teaching Life Support courses for Orlando Health as well as assisting in educating my peers in the respiratory department at Winnie Palmer Hospital. In 2010, I started working on my Master degree in Career and Technical Education at the University of Central Florida, achieving my degree in August of 2013.  I have also worked as an adult critical care therapist in other hospitals throughout the Central Florida area.
I look forward to sharing my passion and knowledge with my students  through the classes that I will be teaching here at St. Petersburg College.
