Transitioning Classroom, Skills, and
Simulation Learning

I have over 19 years of combined experience in nursing education, critical care, emergency nursing, long-term healthcare, and health information technology. My longest tenure was in an intensive care unit, where I worked for over a decade. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in early 2020, my Master of Science in Nursing Degree in 2013 from Troy University, and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree in 2001, also from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I am an Assistant Clinical Professor at Auburn University as well as the Simulation Center Coordinator. I have worked in healthcare simulation for almost seven years and hold a certification as a critical care registered nurse (CCRN-K) and as a certified healthcare simulation educator (CHSE). My expertise is in coordinating and designing simulations to meet learner needs.

 I serve as an Editor-in-Chief of Nurse critical care and rhythms for StatPearls, an Online learning management system, and publisher of healthcare-related peer-reviewed e-books. My research interests include simulation methodology, telehealth, fall prevention and awareness in the older adult, access to healthcare, interprofessional collaboration and education, emergency and critical care nursing, and health disparities among underserved populations. I have over six publications related to nursing education, critical care, and simulation.
