What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a clinical instructor or nurse educator role where I can mentor students, apply evidence-based teaching, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and grow professionally in a supportive academic or clinical setting.

I am a doctorally-prepared Registered Nurse with over 10 years of progressive clinical experience and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I teach and mentor nursing students as a clinical instructor, evaluate student performance, and apply evidence-based strategies to enhance clinical competence and critical thinking.

In clinical roles I have led care planning, patient education, and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams across medical observation, orthopedics, medical-surgical, and community health settings. I hold an active Georgia RN license and BLS certification and prioritize compassionate, practical training that prepares nurses for safe, effective practice.
