Biography

My medical career started as a Certified Nurse Assistance in 2003. I became a registered nurse in 2007. At that time I worked on a Medical/Surgical floor then transitioned to the Emergency Department. I started teaching in 2015.

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.
