My name is Aleida Torres-Ayala, and I am the Nursing Program Coordinator at Ana G. Mendez University System in Tampa Bay. I have been a nurse for more than 30 years and a nursing instructor for over 20 years. Just recently relocated here to Tampa from Puerto Rico.

I hold a doctoral degree in Health Sciences, a post-graduate certificate in Nurse-Midwifery , and also a Master's degree in Nursing, specialized in Maternal-child nursing with minors in Education and Administration.

Love my profession and also love teaching.
