Teaching and Research Interests / Recent Publications or Scholarly Output
I am a nursing education faculty member with a strong focus on pediatric nursing and the preparation of future nurses to provide safe, compassionate, and family-centered care across a variety of settings. My teaching interests include pediatric health assessment, growth and development, school health, pediatric mental health, and clinical decision-making in children and adolescents. I am particularly passionate about experiential and community-based learning, integrating simulation, school nurse partnerships, and clinical rotations to support student competence and confidence. My scholarly interests include nursing education pedagogy, student clinical outcomes, pediatric health promotion, and community–academic partnerships, with ongoing scholarly activities related to curriculum development, program evaluation, and dissemination of best practices through presentations, collaborative projects, and professional engagement in nursing education organizations.
