Biography

My clinical background includes acute care medical-surgical/orthopedic, and PRN school nursing. I'm currently an Associate Lecturer and Sim/Skills lab Coordinator at the Salem Campus, teaching sophomore and junior level courses. I'm passionate about simulation and the use of technology in nursing education. I have traveled to Africa twice with the Kent State Salem College of Nursing, and will travel domestically for the first time this semester to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
