As your school nurse, I am honored to care for your children while they are at school.  I work to stay current on the latest information on child health and development.  I am a Bachelor's prepared Registered Nurse who holds state and national school nurse certification.  My previous experience includes working in a family practice clinic and working in a clinic for homeless individuals and families.  I have been the nurse at Barack and Michelle Obama Elementary since 2009.  I specialize in working with students who have asthma and I have additional certification in asthma education.
