University Health and Counseling Services

Marianne is a RN with many decades of nursing experience who has been a college health nurse at USM for more than 20 years. She loves working with college students as they move from adolescence into adulthood, assisting them in their efforts to attain and maintain good health so they can make the most of their college experience and form habits which will benefit them through life. A special interest over the years has been helping students establish and maintain healthy eating habits at college and beyond, as well as raising awareness around the prevalence of disordered eating and skewed body image among college students. 

In her outside life Marianne enjoys spending time with her family (including her entertaining husband, lively daughter and son-in-law, especially her two beautiful grandchildren, and her singularly caring son), reading, traveling, walking at the shore, and sharing her love of tea. She struggles with the prospect of retirement for a variety of reasons, one of which is her reluctance to leave her stimulating interactions with students and colleagues here at USM.
