As a lecturer in practice learning, my more than 2 decades of experience in critical care nursing and nurse education fuel my passion for teaching, supporting and emowering future registered nurses. My current role in practice learning team offers a unique blend of supporting nursing students in practice and academia. I'm committed to enhancing student’s placement experience as academic link, academic assessor, and practice assessor. I enjoy teaching topics like professional values, nursing expectations, professional well-being, displaced professionals, and quality improvement. As a Professional Nurse Advocate, I find great joy in providing restorative clinical supervision and observing the growth of resilience in both students and nursing workforce.
