Biography

I have been a nurse for 20+ years, with a clinical practice focused in critical care, forensic, and trauma nursing. For the past 18 years, I have been a full-time nurse educator and have been on faculty at the OHSU School of Nursing since 2012. My primary teaching has been in the Undergraduate Program with additional teaching responsibility in the Health Systems and Organizational Leadership (HSOL) and Master of Nursing Education programs. I currently serve as the Assistant Dean for Simulation and Academic Technology. My research interests include leadership in complex healthcare delivery systems as well as healthcare simulation. I have an active program of research examining simulation as an emerging modality as both a formative teaching-learning activity and as one approach to authentic, summative assessment.

Presently, I serve on a wide variety of workgroups, committees, and councils and am involved with performance excellence initiatives across the School and University.
