Research Interests

My interest, currently, related to increasing the diversity in nursing. In order to do this, I am interesting in pursing research on interesting diversity in nursing students. Minorities in nursing include racial minorities as well as men.

Teaching Interests

I enjoy teaching across the board, but have a particular interest in Emergency nursing, Medical/Surgical nursing and Health Assessment. I am interested in pursing an increase in the use of a flipped classroom.
