Hello Everyone!  Welcome to BSWH Temple! I am so excited you chose to join our team. I am proud to have been a part of this great institution since 1985.  I began my nursing career here on STC 2 as a Nurse Assistant Technician and then as an LVN.  After graduating from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor in 1990, I joined the Surgical ICU in the ICU Internship.  I grew my nursing career there from an RN to an Assistant Nurse Manager.  In 2008 I began  as a part time educator progressing to full time that same year for the STICU, CTICU, MICU, RRT, and our Tele Techs.  Since 2017 I have focused on MICU and NsICU and added the NsPCU on 4 North in 2020 to my units. My husband and I have 3 children and 3 grandchildren who are my pride and joy and know me as "Granny."  I love being an educator and bringing humor and fun to learning.  Helping everyone brings me much joy and I look forward to working with each of you!

Hi y'all! We are thrilled to have you join our team. I started my nursing career here a long time ago; during that time I've worked in a variety of medical surgical floors (oncology, ortho, pulmonary, pediatrics, women's health....you name it!) as well as inpatient chemical dependency and psychiatry. I'm the proud mom of 4 very spoiled large rescue dogs, ranging from 60 - 100 pounds each. Being an educator allows me to help other people become aware of what they are capable of...it brings me so much joy!
