Teaching

I began teaching in 2014 and joined the faculty full-time in 2018. I teach in the undergraduate program in all years. I coordinate the students’ first clinical placement in second year. I am a clinical and lab instructor, as well as a faculty advisor, supporting and supervising 4th year nursing students in their integrated practicum.

My personal nursing experience lies in acute medical/surgical and critical care. In my role at Queen’s, I spend a lot of time with students in the clinical setting. I believe my role is to introduce students to a new environment and to help them navigate novel patient experiences. I strive to help students develop an inquisitive nature and to uphold fundamental values such as compassion and empathy.
