The first part of her Nursing career was spent caring for children with cancer at Mott Children’s Hospital at U. of M. During the second part of Carol’s nursing journey, she lived in TC and then back in Detroit for a while working in patient/family education, nursing education, senior and women’s health and hospice/pain management. She says that all through her nursing career, teaching has been such a critical and rewarding role. When not working she enjoys being out in nature (the more trees, critters and birds, the better!) and also enjoys art, photography, fast cars and fast hockey ( go Detroit!)
