Nursing educator at Nightingale College who helped implement a concept-based curriculum tied to 100% NCLEX pass rates.

At Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing, I served on the curriculum revision team that implemented a concept-based nursing curriculum, contributing to 100% NCLEX pass rates for the first two graduating cohorts. I also created active learning strategies to support the curriculum.

I currently teach distance nursing education at Nightingale College, using online lectures and virtual clinical debriefs. I provide asynchronous feedback on APA papers for a Professionalism, Leadership, and Management course.

As Course Coordinator at Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing, I assist the Dean with educational standards, support at-risk students through teaching sessions, and provide ongoing support to adjunct faculty. Earlier, as a registered nurse at Inspira Medical Center, I cared for patients in Mother Baby and Labor and Delivery, as well as Medical-Surgical Telemetry.
