As a dedicated graduate nursing educator with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Creighton University, I have over 12 years of experience teaching graduate nursing students. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and engage deeply with the material. I am passionate about helping students succeed in their advanced practice nursing careers, as I believe that strong foundational knowledge is crucial for their future practice. My approach combines practical applications with theoretical concepts, ensuring that my students are well-prepared for both exams and real-world challenges. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading about advancements in healthcare and exploring new educational methodologies to continuously enhance my tutoring effectiveness.
