About

Hi, my name is Jennifer Bertucci. I am currently enrolled in the doctorate of philosophy in nursing with a focus on leadership at the University of Southern Mississippi. My grade point average at USM is a 3.90. I also hold a bachelors of arts degree in psychology from Saint Thomas University and a bachelors of science from the University of Mississippi. In November 2015, I became the proud mother of Joseph Michael. Joseph is the light of my life and a huge motivating influence in my career path. I have worked as a nurse for approximately ten years now in areas such as medical-surgical, home health, and recovery. I am excited about my future as a professor of nursing as well as being a mother to my precious baby boy.

I plan to research emotional intelligence and nursing school success. The aim of my research is to explore the influence of parenting on emotional intelligence.

I want to do every thing I can do to help my child be successful as well as nurture and help develop successful nursing students.
