On June 13, 2024, school nurses and supporters from across Mississippi gathered at the Mississippi Center for Nursing in Madison to revise the Mississippi School Nurse Procedures and Standards of Care manual.

As each chapter was thoughtfully reviewed and updated, one theme remained constant: a shared passion for student well-being and a commitment to equipping school nurses with the tools they need to succeed.

With over 23 years of dedicated service as a School Nurse, I am honored to serve as the President of the Mississippi School Nurse Association. My journey as a healthcare professional began with extensive experience in Critical Care and Pediatrics,  which laid a solid foundation for my transition into the educational sector.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to providing exceptional care and support to students, ensuring their health and well-being are prioritized to create a safe and nurturing school environment. My passion for nursing extends beyond the classroom, as I actively engage in advancing school nursing practices and advocating for the vital role of school nurses in our communities.

As President of the Mississippi School Nurse Association, I am eager to lead initiatives that empower school nurses and enhance the quality of care delivered to students across our state. Together, we can build a healthier future for our children and schools.
