I received my MSN from Augusta University (formerly known as Medical College of Georgia) with a focus on being a Clinical Nurse Leader. Engaged in systems thinking with an interest in pediatrics, I began my career as a pediatric registered nurse while working on hospital committees to improve patient care and improve communication systems. While working as a staff nurse, I realized I enjoyed working with the intermittent flow of nursing students. That was the beginning of my career in education. I have taught in community college and university level nursing programs. I have also developed curriculum for transition to practice nursing programs and now work as a Simulation Clinical Educator to assist in the development of physician, nursing, and allied health simulation curriculum and faculty development. I have experience teaching young adults at the collegiate level and facilitating robust workshops at international conferences.
