Research Interests

Clinically, my research is focused on quality of life indicators and shared decision making; central line associated blood stream infection identification and prevention in clinically neutropenic children; and family education. Other topics of interest include the nursing cohort model, and somatic pain responses later in life.

As such, I truly enjoy teaching all aspect of theoretical and experiential nursing education, including: Pediatrics, Pharmacology, Medical/Surgical Nursing, Research, Lab, Health Assessment, Clinical, and Leadership/Management.
