Research Interests

My interest is in improving the safety and quality of healthcare. I am particularly interested in nurse sensitive outcomes such as health care acquired infections, patient falls, medication errors and nursing related patient safety measures as they relate to improving the quality of healthcare outcomes.

Teaching Interests

My teaching interests include quality improvement, epidemiology, and statistics. I also love teaching interprofessional students leadership principles and ethics to new nurses.
