Previously, she worked full-time for 25 years at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, on a surgical unit and then in the Emergency Department.

STATEMENT:
It’s my honor to join “One Nurse at a Time” as the Scholarship Coordinator. When my path crossed with theirs, I was so encouraged to see an organization out there that desired to get nurses more involved in volunteering and humanitarian efforts. I too have a heart to encourage nurses to serve and I hope to foster their involvement by providing financial support to those nurses dedicated to stepping out and making a global impact.
