Education
MScN Western University (then UWO)
BN, University of Calgary
I have been a faculty member since 2005. My clinical experience includes family-centred care in pediatric oncology, neonatal intensive care, and in public health. As an educator I have experience teaching in three BN programs at both local universities. My teaching focus is a welcome mix of theory courses in years 1 and 2 as well as community health practice and supporting students and their RN preceptors in the final term of the program. I am committed to opening space in classrooms, labs, and clinical experiences for ideas that provoke students into thinking broadly about human rights, equity, social justice, and advocacy for systemic programs and policy that promotes safer, inclusive health care. My interest in embedding arts and humanities in the education of nurses arises from evidence that health care professionals benefit from engaging in creative processes as a means to reflect on the profound human experiences encountered in practice. My pronouns are she, her, hers.
