BIOGRAPHY

I used to be in the corporate world and then changed directions. I started in healthcare as a medical receptionist and then became a medical assistant. I began working with adults and then moved into pediatrics/adolescent. Working with children was rewarding because I was able to help parents and the children. I have always said I am a lifelong learner, and working at Chatham University is a wonderful place to learn. I am the Program Assistant in the Physical Therapy Department, DPT. To be around all the professors and staff, I am learning new material. I am interested in finishing my master’s and perhaps obtaining other degrees.
