Professional Nurse Leader and Educator
I am a passionate nurse leader and educator working to improve patient outcomes through excellence in nursing with a focus on addressing health disparities through culturally competent healthcare. Education and leadership are key, and I focus on these areas as strategies for success. Nurses are able to impact change, and I help nurses recognize their ability to impact change.
ABOUT
My Background
My professional practice includes four areas that reflect Boyer’s Model of Scholarship, including teaching, scholarship, service, and collegiality. I am keen to connect and engage in these four areas. I strive to have my teaching and scholarship serve my global community as I work as part of the academy address pressing health issues.
I am eager to work with students, nurses, and other healthcare professionals as they engage in lifelong learning to improve their practice and continually develop their ability to lead and serve. I work with an interdisciplinary team to address current issues in health around the world. I aspire to promote academic and professional success and excellence worldwide.
​
I am excited to connect with you so we can improve healthcare worldwide. What are you passionate about?
