As a retired nurse educator, I am spreading my wings and hoping to use my nursing and teaching skills in public service as as a member of the Common Council in Madison, WI, aka, Alder District 10. We have many issues facing the city at this time and I think I can bring my skills to the the problem solving and decision making processes that are going to be needed over the next two years. As a master educator, I continue to be very interested in how we teach and learn the practice of nursing, as well as the risk of falls in community older adults.
