About
I am an Assistant Professor of Nursing and Emergency Department Registered Nurse with a focus on bridging clinical practice and nursing education. My work centers on preparing nurses to think critically, act decisively, and deliver patient-centered care in complex environments.
Beyond the classroom and clinical setting, I write about healthcare, nursing education, and the systems that shape both. I am particularly interested in improving how we teach, reducing unnecessary task burden in practice, and preserving the human element of care in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.
I share ongoing work and reflections here in this digital space, and through lectures and speaking engagements.
