Dr. Williams has been a nurse for 5 decades and practiced in several states and in both Europe and Korea in military communities. Experiences have been both direct care delivery and administrative as well as academic. She moved to Psychiatric/Mental Health by her Master’s degree because of a realization that everything is about behaviors and choices. She has enjoyed practicing in hospitals, schools, and community settings. She has a special interest in teaching student success and believes that nursing students need accessible professors. She enjoys a range of interests including family, church, gardening, biking, and just being out of doors.
