I have had the privilege of serving as Vice President of TNA for the past 2 years. It has been an honor to work alongside<br />
a fantastic board and TNA staff to grow the organization and represent nurses across the state. I look forward to an<br />
opportunity to continue to serve as we seek to advocate for nurses and advance nursing practice in the years to come.<br />

RN for over 16 years. TNA/ANA member since 2000 with over 14 years of leadership experience. Past TNA secretary,<br />
chair of Nominating Committee and TNF board member. I have served on several committees at the state level<br />
including the education committee, nursing practice committee and operations committee. At the district level (District<br />
One), I have served in several positions including vice president, president, and treasurer. I also served as an ANA<br />
delegate (2007, 2009). My strengths include energy and drive to accomplish goals. I am interested in serving as TNA<br />
Vice President because new opportunities create challenges allowing for the growth of knowledge and innovation in a<br />
diverse environment.<br />

I have served in this position for one term. I would appreciate the opportunity to serve one more term to complete some<br />
projects that are in process, such as, developing a treasurer’s training program, a Dean’s recruiting packet, and a license<br />
plate marketing packet for Deans. I would like the chance to increase membership in TNA thus revenue in the budget.<br />
