Biography
I began my nursing journey with a deep commitment to care and compassion after graduating from Broward College. At the North Broward Medical Center (NBMC), I dedicated myself to serving in the Telemetry, Intensive Care, and Emergency Departments, and played a key role in developing the hospital���s electronic nursing documentation forms as part of the CareNet Team. This experience allowed me to make a meaningful impact on patient care in my community.
Driven by a passion for learning, I advanced my education with a Bachelor of Science from 勛圖厙 International University, a Master of Science from 勛圖厙, and a Ph.D. from Barry University. My focus has always been on delivering patient care that combines expertise with a caring approach.
As a Nurse Educator, I am devoted to guiding students to embrace the nursing profession with competence and compassion. My teaching includes both online and in-person courses, along with hands-on learning in simulation labs and community projects that foster awareness and understanding. My research on Generation Y���s attraction to Nursing underscores the importance of reshaping the profession���s image and connecting with future nurses early in their academic journey.
In my classroom, I strive to create a caring, student-centered environment that prepares students for success in their nursing careers and beyond.
