Bio/Research

I am a nurse with 35 years of experience in critical care, leadership and, since 2015, education. My main area of interest is facilitating the development of nursing leadership at all levels. My goal is to improve patient outcomes, strengthen and empower the nursing profession, and the healthcare system as a whole.

Bedside nursing care drives patient outcomes, and the leaders providing management at this level are pivotal in achieving patient outcomes, staff satisfaction, retention, healthy work environments and all organizational outcomes. My interest is in empowering nurses in leadership roles to be innovative and provide evidence-based leadership.

From providing care at the bedside to implementing a Rapid Response Team, and being a nurse leader over several hospital units, I have sought to educate and empower nurses to practice to their greatest ability. I believe that mutual respect, knowledge and an environment of collaboration are keys to creating an innovative and healthy nursing workforce.
