Since living in Grants Pass, I have worked as a Home Health nurse, per diem Intensive Care nurse, and continue to teach basic nursing students at OHSU housed at SOU. Before coming here, I taught nursing at Pacific Lutheran University, worked as an Emergency Room supervisor, Clinic manager, and clinical specialist in the ICU. One of my most poignant experiences was that of being in the Peace Corps in Tanzania, East Africa. Experiencing life and health care in an underdeveloped country was very challenging but extremely rewarding! .
