United States
Message

At Floyd Valley Healthcare, I manage learning and development functions and the department budget, while planning and evaluating education programs that support professional growth.

I coordinate student rotations, internships, practicums, and observational experiences, and support participation in the online nurse residency program for new graduates.

I manage e-learning and resuscitation courses through HealthStream, including course delivery, maintenance, reporting, and troubleshooting. As Epic Site Champion, I acted as a liaison for site-specific implementation needs, training, change management, and risk escalation.

At Western Iowa Technical College, I teach CNA candidates and high school students in medical terminology. My background also includes registered nursing, clinical system support, and emergency preparedness coordination.
