Location
I am a proud graduate of UNE's Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. Prior to higher education, I served in clinical practice for 15 years in adult medical/telemetry and the intensive care as a bedside registered nurse. I began my academic faculty career at UNE in 2012. Teaching has included advanced medical/surgical, Pharmacology, Ethics, Health Assessment, Gerontology and the delivery of nursing skills and simulation.
In addition to my role as Interim Director, I serve as an Associate Clinical Professor, member overseeing all experiential education including nursing skills lab, simulation, acute care and community clinicals, and preceptorship placements of senior nursing students. Areas of interest include education with both novice and senior level nursing students. I have a passion for working with the older population, teaching Gerontology, and the use of Reminiscing/Life Review topics.
