I am a full-time lecturer at Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ State East Liverpool Campus. Prior to coming to Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ State, I was an associate professor of health sciences and surgical technology for 11.5 years at the now-closed Pittsburgh Technical College. Prior to that I was a program director for a surgical technology program in Erie, PA, for more than five years. I am published as a reviewer/contributor in three textbooks and retain my active CST credential through the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assistants (NBSTSTA). I 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 Degree, with honors, in human anatomy and physiology Instruction from Northeast College of Health Sciences.
