Mission

My mission, as the school nurse in the MSAD#11 district, is to support student success by competently addressing the physical, emotional and social needs of the student population through assessment, intervention, and follow-up.

My Background

I grew up in Gardiner Maine and attended MSAD #11 schools, graduating from Gardiner Area High School in 1986.   I then attended the University of Southern Maine and graduated with a degree in Criminology in 1990.  I immediately started working with  mentally disabled adults, enrolled in a CNA class, and decided to go back to college to pursue the nursing profession.  I graduated from the University of Southern Maine in 1995 with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
   
I have worked for MSAD #11 as the school nurse at Gardiner Regional Middle School for the past 7 years.  In addition to working as a school nurse I also work for MaineGeneral Medical Center at Express Care where I have been employed for 10 years.  I have been an employee of MaineGeneral Medical Center for a total of 28 years.  During that time I have worked in  Skilled Care, Medical Endoscopy, and the Emergency Department in addition to Express Care. 

When I majored in Criminology in college I wanted to work with "at risk" adolescents.  In fact I did my internship during my senior year at the Maine Youth Center in South Portland (now Longcreek Youth Development Center).  I find that my career has come full circle; I work with adolescents and, indeed, some of the work I do involves working with students who are at risk for drug/alcohol abuse, homelessness, and incarceration.  I am very grateful to do the work that I do every day.
