SCHOLAR DIRECTORY

I am a nursing PhD student at the University of Washington, Seattle. My research interest is in nursing education with a special emphasis on interprofessional education and practice among health science students and clinical skill development through simulation. In addition to working on my PhD, I am concurrently seeking a masters in education with a focus in measurement and statistics and am a teaching assistant with the school of nursing’s clinical skills lab. Myself and 6 other health science students from the UW are co-recipients of the 2014 Inter-professional Student Hot Spotting learning collaborative and mini grant project. Outside of school, I have continued to work as a bedside nurse in a medical, surgical, transplant ICU. Being an active bedside nurse provides me with up to date experience for teaching clinical skills and encourages to me always consider how nursing research and education impacts patient outcomes.
