I came to LWC in 2007 after working several years in pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing quality control and management.  Also, while working for "corporate America" I taught part-time at the University of Cincinnati and Somerset Community College.  Many reasons drew me to LWC, the top 3 include:  1.) the familial, close-knit setting 2.) the determination to help every student 3.) the support from co-workers, we work as a unit.

A few of my interests include church, family, friends, and traveling (I have many others).  I am very active in my church (Sunday school & VBS teacher & Women's Ministries) to name a few.  I spend a lot of time with my family and friends.  I am very close to my family-they are very important to me.  I have a large family and we fellowship at every opportunity.  My friends are close to me and we enjoy spending time together.  I have traveled quite a bit and truly enjoy the experiences.  I look forward to traveling more.  

My classroom is set-up for students to learn the content, as well as, learn more about themselves.  I encourage and welcome class discussions/participation.  It is my goal for each student to gain knowledge and expand on their dreams and goals.  I particularly enjoy seeing how my students have grown over the semester/year; this is very rewarding for me.  Here at LWC it's every student, every day. 

Special studies:  Parasitology, Immunology, and Toxicology.
