Q: What drew you to the field of nursing education?
My passion for service and my love of Christ brought me to nursing field and eventually to education.
Q: What about teaching energizes you?
Seeing the growth of nursing students from first semester to fourth semester is exciting. Helping future students understand the need for compassion at the bedside as critical thinking is developed and clinical decisions are implemented.
Q: How has your background and educational experience shaped you as a teacher?
Prior to nursing I spent 7 years in the social work field and have been full time at the bedside since then. My professional experiences have allowed me to understand various walks of life and extreme patient case scenarios that allow me to identify realistic situations and educational opportunities for student nurses.
