Courses Taught at Samuel Merritt University:
I am currently the Program Director for the pre licensure portion of the ELMS program in Oakland and Sacramento. I teach several foundational courses; Pathophysiology and Pharmacology, Adult/Older Adult Med Surg, Clinical Internship, and Leadership as well as manage the students through the first 4 semesters of the prelicensure portion of the ELMSN program.
I also coordinate with the program directors of the Family Nurse Practitioner and Case Management programs. I am actively involved in the interview process on both campuses of the new potential students.
Research Interests:
My research interests involve self care practices in the future health care professional. I am currently working with two other faculty members in the school of nursing on implementing a simple self care practice in the student population.
My other area of interest is in the development of mentorships for new faculty. I am currently completing my doctorate using a qualitative method of case study that addresses the needs of faculty who are experts in their field of nursing but new to academia.
