Professor Debbie creates an engaging and supportive learning environment that has profoundly impacted my education. One moment I will never forget is when my birthday coincided with an exam. She brought in delicious cupcakes and party supplies to help ease the day, a small act that meant a great deal to me. Through my interactions with her and my involvement in the Dedicated Educational Unit at Mayo Hospital in Red Wing, I have witnessed her ability to connect with students and guide us through complex material with patience and understanding. She is always available to offer guidance, ensuring her students learn the material and feel confident and well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

Professor Debbie goes above and beyond in providing personalized feedback, encouragement, and resources, helping her students thrive academically and professionally. What truly sets her apart is her positivity, genuine passion for nursing, and unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of nurses in the St. Kate's College for Adults program. She inspires her students to uphold the core values of the nursing profession and strive for excellence in patient care. 

Professor Debbie is not just a teacher; she is a mentor and role model who profoundly influences the development of future nurses at St. Kate's. She truly deserves recognition for her extraordinary contributions to nursing education.

She truly exemplifies greatness as a nursing instructor, consistently demonstrating exceptional teaching skills while embodying the compassion, leadership, and dedication essential for shaping the future of nursing.

Debbie always goes above and beyond for her students by making herself constantly available whenever needed and supporting her students. Debbie ordered ahead and drove to Red Wing early in the morning so that she could pick up donuts from the well-known Hanisch bakery for our clinical group.
