As a nurse since 1979, I have enjoyed a variety of specialties and supervisory and training positions. However, my love of technology, its uses in healthcare quality improvement, is a focus I have established over the past 5 years. As a lifelong learner, I anticipate a June 2003 graduation with a Master's of Science degree in Management and Technology. I have begun to research career opportunities in this field and have found a perfect marriage of my strengths, interest and healthcare in the informatics arena.
