Biography

I am a Clinical Nurse Specialist and a Senior Lecturer with over 20 years of acute care/critical care experience. My specialty is adult/gerontology critical care/cardiovascular nursing. I coordinate the Adult/Gerontology CNS program for the College of Nursing and also teach within the program. I am currently a Ph.D. in Nursing candidate at Kent State and currently working on my dissertation. I am developing an instrument to measure family willingness for caregiving in the ICU.
