I have been an RN for 35+ years and a Certified Case Manager since 2004. My practice included skilled home care and elder services. I provided professional care and case management for individuals with developmental disabilities and adolescents and young adults with special healthcare needs. As a faculty member at Framingham State University, I developed and teach in our Certificate in Nursing Case Management and our MSN with a concentration in Case Management programs to help grow our community of case managers.  I recently joined CMSNE and I have served on the Scholarship, CMOY/AOSE Committee. I feel that I can serve on the CMSNE Board as a Director-at-Large and am confident that I can support our mission to promote the growth and value of the practice of case management and to support the evolving needs of the case management professional. As I tell anyone who will listen “Everyone deserves a case manager!”
