Background
I teach maternal-child nursing at CSU, Chico. I love anything having to do with pregnant women, childbirth, newborns, and children. I have 17 years of hospital obstetrics experience- labor and delivery, post-partum, nursery, neonatal intensive care unit, and cross-trained in pediatrics. I have also taught many classes in the community about childbirth, parenting, child development, and prenatal alcohol and drug exposure. I am very enthusiastic about the nursing profession!
