Mrs. Dawn Moser

I graduated with my bachelor's degree from Molloy College in Rockville Center, NY, in 1996. I went on to practice in labor and delivery, and from there I realized I had a passion for education and started pursuing a career path that led me to maternal education.

I became a Lamaze-certified childbirth educator as well as a certified breastfeeding educator and helped many soon-to-be moms and new families with any of their educational needs.

I was so passionate about the teaching aspect of nursing that I started pursuing a career in more formal education and became an adjunct professor of nursing at Valencia College in Orlando. Most recently, I was a clinical instructor at FSW, and that is what led me here to Lorenzo Walker.

I am so excited to be a part of the faculty at Lorenzo Walker and am looking forward to seeing what the future may hold!
