Prenursing Smarter is online test prep that works for busy students, built by an experienced educator.
As a college tutor and instructor, I worked with nursing students, English Language Learners, and pre-nursing students. Busy, high-achieving students needed better study materials and resources.
I decided to use my teacher superpowers to create Prenursing Smarter.
Let's work together!

I'm a student who needs TEAS prep
I have a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University. My undergraduate degree is from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I double majored in genetics and agricultural journalism. I earned a 4.0 GPA in journalism courses, worked in a top genetics lab, received merit scholarships, and regularly landed on the Dean’s List.
That’s not to say college was easy! I would freak out, get overwhelmed, and even bombed some important tests. College really taught me how to focus my studying, get better at taking exams, and manage my time. It also taught me to keep going.
One test, one challenge, or even one bad semester, does not dictate the rest of your life. Keep moving forward.
Today, I live in sunny Southern California. I'm an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. Prenursing Smarter is an inclusive business and actively seeks opportunities to collaborate with and support diverse voices.
