Mission & Passion
I believe that God directed me and prepared me for the teaching ministry through my experiences as a nurse, a caregiver, and an adult student. It is a blessing to know that my work will impact the lives of students, patients and communities, and I pray that God will use me as a source of encouragement as a faculty member at OKWU.
