    Biography

    A little about myself, I am currently a full-time lecturer at Kent State East Liverpool campus. Prior to coming to Kent State, I was an associate professor of health sciences and surgical technology at the now closed Pittsburgh Technical College for 11.5 years. Prior to that I was a Program Director for a Surgical Technology program in Erie, Pennsylvania for over 5 years. I am published as a reviewer/contributor in 3 textbooks, retain my active CST credential through the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assistants (NBSTSTA), and am a member of the American Association for Anatomy (AAA), Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), Association for Surgical Technologists (AST), Society of Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgeons (SLS), and the Cardiothoracic Surgery Network (CTSnet). I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania West University- Edinboro (formerly Edinboro University of Pennsylvania) and a Master of Science with honors in Human Anatomy and Physiology Instruction from Northeast College of Health Sciences.
