Foundations of Health Science Syllabus   

About Me

I am a Winston-Salem native, having been born and raised here in Winston-Salem.  I attended Wake Forest University for Biology and then University of Florida for a Masters of Science in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology.  I have worked in research laboratories, medical offices, and did clinical research in Nephrology prior to teaching at the Community College level for the last 20 years.  I have been teaching health sciences students as well as students who are pursuing general science degrees.  There are many careers within science and health science that I love to tell others about, since there are many that most folks are unaware exist.  This is my first year teaching at Atkins

I have 2 children, one just graduated from Parkland and the other is a student at Atkins.  We love animals and have 3 dogs and 3 cats, although we have allergies (runny noses abound!).  I like to knit, crochet, garden, and enjoy music, sometimes playing in the community band, when time allows, or attending concerts.  I also enjoy traveling, especially to historical sites, and learning new things.  And, I follow University of Florida sports and WAKE FOREST sports!  GO DEACS and GO GATORS!!!!
