About me
I LOVE Classical Ballet. My Mother started my sister & me in ballet classes at young ages. I danced professionally with LA Ballet Society until age 19 when I realized I needed a formal education. Fast forward...a dental assistant until I realized it was a "dead end" job. Then to Nursing School, no accelerated courses at that time, so started with a community college (Mt. SAC) to get my ADN, then to CSUF to obtain my BSN, then later to University of Phoenix to obtain my MSN. My workplace experience landed me a position at UCIMC. The best decision of my life! A 411 Bed Level I Trauma Center, a Burn Center, a Teaching & Research Hospital, one of the nations Top 10 academic medical centers, a Certified Stroke Center & a Magnet Hospital to name a few. I floated to all FIVE Intensive Care Units, the ED, & PACU! I participated on the Critical Care Council. An amazing experience.
Now retired off the bedside I am teaching LVN students with American Career College.
My interests & hobbies to keep a balanced life; first is sailboat racing! I am part of the crew on a J112e, a beautiful, fast new sailboat in 2024. I grow Plumerias. On one of my several visits to Maui I fell in love with Plumerias, the vast colors, the fragrance, and the ease of growing got me hooked! I also have two "best friends" my doggies, Jackson & Tango.
