I am currently accepting MNSc and PhD students in the area of chronic disease management, wound care, and gerontological nursing.

Teaching

My philosophy of teaching is shaped by my previous experiences as a learner, an educator, a preceptor/mentor, an advanced practice nurse and a nursing leader. I encourage student-centered learning by allowing students to share in decisions, believing in their capacity to lead, and remembering how it feels to learn. My primary roles as an educator is to instill a spirit of inquiry, cultivate problem-solving skills, demonstrate how knowledge is translated into practice, and provide learning experiences that are interactive and contextual based. What I consider to be a key outcome of effective education is the students’ ability to apply critical thinking skills and draw on a wide breadth of knowledge to problem solve.

Research

My research interests focus on people living with chronic Conditions and Health Care Quality. I am particularly interested in using innovative technologies to enhance chronic disease self-management, developing quality benchmarks for wound management, and implementing best practices for the care older persons.

I am an affiliate Scientist at the Institute for Education Research (TIER), University Health Network and a research associate of the Nurses Specializes in Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Canada.
