Overview
I am an assistant professor of Nursing in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences School of Nursing’s ABSN hybrid program. I coordinate the NRSG 3420 and 3421 courses across the Boston, Burlington, and Charlotte campuses.
I am a practicing critical care and procedural nurse. My specialization is Interventional Cardiology: Cardiac and Vascular Catheterization and Electrophysiology.
In addition to improving nurse safety in practice, my professional interests focus on local and national health policy issues as well as advocating for affordable, accessible, equitable, safe healthcare to improve patient outcomes and the social determinants of health.
My doctoral focus was workplace safety in healthcare and social service areas. Specifically, legislation addressing gun violence in the healthcare and social services settings in the state of Maine. I am currently working on a health policy research project, which I will submit for publication this year.
