Nurse scientist studying chronic illness self-management, health promotion, and the digital transformation of community health. My methodological work spans qualitative and computational-qualitative approaches, including natural language processing applied to health research data. I work through community-engaged scholarship and knowledge mobilization, with current attention to how digital transformation is reshaping nursing education and practice.

Areas of Instruction

Adult Health
Mental Health
Research Literacies

Areas of Scholarship

Chronic illness self-management and health promotion
Digital transformation in nursing education and practice
Qualitative and computational-qualitative methods, including natural language processing

Teaching Approach

Collaborative and student-centred teaching, built on structured peer learning, flipped-classroom design, and a classroom where every student has a way into the conversation. My courses emphasize research literacy and critical appraisal in adult and mental health nursing. I redesign assessments to give students genuine choice in how they demonstrate their learning, which strengthens both their engagement and the quality of their reasoning.
