My teaching and research interests center on educational leadership, school improvement, and teacher development, with a particular focus on social-emotional learning, school climate, and instructional leadership. My research examines the implementation and impact of schoolwide SEL initiatives – specifically Tier 1 programs – on student behavior, teacher efficacy, and organizational culture. I am currently completing an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, with a dissertation in practice evaluating the outcomes of a comprehensive SEL framework in an elementary school setting. My recent scholarly activities include qualitative data analysis, practitioner-focused research aligned with improvement goals, and ongoing collaboration with school and district leaders to translate research findings into actionable practice.

Teaching and Research Interests / Recent Publications or Scholarly Output
I am an educator and radiographer who is deeply passionate about true simulation-based learning and the power of dynamic laboratory experiences to transform clinical readiness. I design high-fidelity, immersive scenarios that push students to think critically, communicate clearly, and navigate the realities of patient care. My work blends radiography, nursing, and other disciplines to create realistic, interprofessional learning environments that prepare learners for the complexity of real world healthcare. My love for simulation is grounded in my own bedside practice. With a background in critical care imaging, pediatric radiography, and Level 1 trauma, I bring the pace, challenges, and decision making of high acuity settings directly into the classroom and lab. I believe students learn best when the training feels real, meaningful, and connected to the patients and teams they will serve, and that philosophy guides everything I create.
