Meet some of the Newest Members of the Sumner Family
Meredith Nasholds - Clinical & Externship Coordinator
I pride myself on being “half and half” - a British-American “world citizen”. I was born in the Midlands of the United Kingdom, an area where Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit were based. However, I spent much of my youth in Muscat, the capital city of Oman in the Middle East. My friends used to think I rode a camel to school, but sadly that’s not true. I made the move to the USA to be with family, where I met my husband and four-legged step-dog, Sadie. I am a ridiculous next-level Harry Potter fan. I usually win Trivia. My hobbies include watching shows about cooking, while discussing what I shall cook next, often during a meal. The Great British Baking Show - specifically the cakes - is a current passion! Working in healthcare for over 10 years from dentistry to dialysis has made me a well-rounded individual. I believe a combination of life experience and good education can help anyone achieve anything. Michelle Workman - Student & Career Services I LOVE what Portland has to offer in terms of hiking, camping and outdoor life - that’s where I am most week- ends. I also enjoy exploring the local restaurant scene (pre-covid) and coffee shops with my significant other, Curtis, and his 13-year-old black lab, DelMar. I am currently involved with Providence Hospital Stroke Support Group to encourage those recovering from stroke and hope to start puppy raising with Guide Dogs for the Blind once covid allows. With my background in mental health, I appreciate the health care field tremendously. I’m looking forward to launching Sumner College grads into the world of healthcare. Please feel free to stop by to introduce yourself or invite me into to a game of scrabble in the break area.
Renee Stanley - Nursing Educator
Hi, my name is Renee Stanley. I have been a nurse for approximately 40 years and its something I’m very pas- sionate about and love doing. Most of my experience has been in acute care on a post surgical floor. I have worked with nursing students that came to my floor to do their clinicals, and found it very rewarding. I’m looking forward to this new chapter of teaching. I was born here in Portland and raised in Tillamook. I have two beautiful, talented daughters and three adorable grand- children in California who I enjoy visiting and spending lots of time with. Coffee and diet coke are life. Some of my hob- bies are : going to the beach, reading, and painting.
