What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned nursing leader and educator with 20+ years of clinical and academic experience, currently serving as Chief Nursing Officer and former full-time faculty at the University of Southern Indiana. I design and deliver competency-based curriculum in on-site, online, and hybrid formats, supervise clinical teams, and lead initiatives that improve patient outcomes and student success.
I have led large cohorts of students and clinical faculty, integrated simulation and educational technology into remote instruction, published peer-reviewed articles on resiliency and cultural humility, and chaired DEI committees to advance inclusive teaching.
