About Nurse Paula

I am in my fifth year as a school nurse and privileged to be in my fourth year of serving the health needs of the Doss students and community. Before moving to Austin almost 5 years ago I worked for 17 years in adult inpatient medicine for a large health system in Delaware. Additionally, I have worked for several years in the areas of college health, home health care, behavioral health and nursing education. However, it is my role as mom to four amazing adult children, who once upon a time were non-stop-into everything-high-energy- delightful little beings, that has best prepared me for being a school nurse. Aside from appreciating the value of a good education and the hard work of dedicated parents, I just love kids and want to do all I can to keep them healthy. Healthy kids learn better.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s health while at school. I am here to help.

Thank you for entrusting me with your child’s health care needs while at school!
