• Why I'm at Cedarville:It has always been my desire to work in Christian higher education, where I can incorporate my faith not only into my clinical practice, but where it is expected that I help students in doing this as well. Encouraging the next generation of nurses in how to care for patients in a holistic manner, incorporating not only general nursing principles of care, but also focusing on the spiritual aspect of patients is exciting.
