Bio

I began my career in dental education at the University of Southern Indiana immediately upon graduation with my B.S. degree in 2001. After working 6 years in private practice, I began full time employment at the University of Southern Indiana. In addition to teaching my courses, I also teach a certificate program on local anesthesia for dental hygienists who are already in practice and a course in nitrous oxide and oxygen sedation for both dental hygienists and dental assistants. I serve on the USI Promotions Committee and the College of Nursing and Health Professions' Faculty Review Committee in addition to other responsibilities. In 2008 I became a consultant member of the North East Regional Board of Dental Examiners, now known as the CDCA-WREB-CITA. As a consultant, I travel to dental hygiene programs across the United States to examine dental hygiene students while they complete their clinical board examination. Dental hygiene practice influences my teaching and I continue to practice on Mondays at the office of Drs. Ray, Miles, and King in Evansville, Indiana.
