Most of my teaching experience has been in Psychiatric Nursing. After I completed the Masters in Family Counseling, I became interested in Sociology so I finished my Doctorate at University of California, Riverside with specializations in Organizational Theory and Social Psychology.

Area of teaching
In more recent years I have been able to use my Sociology theory background as I teach Nursing Management to our seniors here in LLUSN. I also teach Introduction to Sociology when needed by School of Nursing or other University students who need it to complete requirements for their respective degrees. Currently, I have been privileged to teach a clinical laboratory for students enrolled in Psychiatric Nursing, as well as a few didactic topics in that course.

I have been able to use my Family Theory background in teaching Family Systems Theory and application for many church and community groups, as well as individuals and their families.
