In his own words: "Our graduate students tend to be adults with growing families and demanding work responsibilities.  Add to this the popularity of online education and there is a clear need for one-on-one attention through the complexities of a DNP education and Scholarly Project. It's my goal to provide this service to my clients.  To help them succeed with reassuring, competent, and expert support."
