About Me
I am an experienced nursing educator who specializes in curriculum development, mentoring, and professional growth. I integrate QSEN competencies, ethical principles, and simulation-based learning into my teaching to foster excellence and evidence-based practice. With an ability to design engaging modules and provide thoughtful feedback, I empower students through reflective learning and leadership development.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy gardening, cooking hearty meals, and traveling. My interests also include disaster preparedness in healthcare, book club activities, and music that promotes focus and relaxation. I am committed to lifelong learning and shaping the future of nursing through innovative, student-centered education.
