At Harlaxton College, Ms. Colovos was able to live in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England and travel around the United Kingdom and Europe. While at Harlaxton, Ms. Colovos researched nursing education and practice in the United Kingdom and studied the history of nursing in the United Kingdom, specifically focusing on Florence Nightingale’s impact.

It is her love of education, learning, and traveling that make her excited to embark on teaching her first course with CCSA.
