I came to Simmons University first as a family nurse practitioner student in the on-campus program and later transitioned into adjunct faculty for the pharmacology courses. I greatly enjoy the education environment and seeing students succeed in ways they were unsure they could. My clinical experience has included palliative medicine, oncology, and internal medicine.
