She worked in oncology at Samuel Merritt Hospital prior to beginning her teaching career in the diploma program at Samuel Merritt Hospital School of Nursing in 1976. As a faculty member, she participated in the transition of that program into a baccalaureate degree and in the development of the Master of Science and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs. Over the years, she has taught a variety of medicalsurgical nursing courses in the pre-licensure programs on three campuses. She served as the Dean of Nursing at Samuel Merritt University from 2004 to 2019 and was the 20142016 president of the California Association of Colleges of Nursing.
