Hello Mustangs! I am excited to join Dahlstrom Middle School this year as your school nurse. I am originally from South Africa and moved to the United States during middle school. I've been a Registered Nurse for 17 years. Previously, I worked in a hospital providing postpartum and newborn care. As my kids got older I moved into school nursing. My family recently moved to the area and our four children all attend school in Hays CISD now. Life is busy but when I have free time I enjoy baking, quilting, and boating with my family.
I look forward to working with your children, please reach out with any questions or concerns.

ImmunizationsAll students must be up to date on vaccines or have a current, valid exemption form on file for the school year.
