What is your teaching style?

I use a student-centered teaching style. I feel this approach helps me to best facilitate students learning process.

Why do you do what you do?

I became a nurse educator because I love the profession of nursing and wanted to be around students who share the same passion as I do.

How do you make learning engaging?

I try to use a variety of learning activities such as case studies, games, and role-play activities throughout the course of the semester to help engage students in the content being discussed.

What should students know about you?

Students should know that while I am serious in class I am very approachable and understanding.
