Biography

I have been teaching at Kent State College of Nursing since 2001, predominantly in the online RN-to-BSN program and MSN Nurse Educator concentration. I have a special interest in online education including the use of creative online technologies, creating community of practice in the online classroom, and maximizing group work potential. Other areas of expertise include test item development and successfully coaching graduate students through manuscript development and publication.
