I started my career in hospital pediatrics and then changed my career path to education in Long-Term-Care which included Nurse Aide Training. From there I took a position at the Pennsylvania Department of Health as a Nursing Consultant for Adolescent and Adult Diseases. I consulted with department of health staff, public and private providers, school nurses and child care facilities as well as the general public. In a year and a half of serving in this capacity I was promoted to Section manager where I supervise five staff in the Program Operations Section of the Division of Immunizations.
