My Story

My career began at the bedside, but one question has continued to shape my work: How do we help people take what they know and actually use it?

As a registered nurse, certified nurse educator, and nursing professor, I have spent years helping learners navigate complex clinical information, develop clinical judgment, and prepare to make decisions that affect real people.

That work expanded naturally into instructional design, digital learning, simulation, professional development, writing, and educational innovation.

Today, I create learning experiences and resources designed around more than information delivery. I focus on what learners need to understand, apply, practice, and ultimately do differently.

My Approach

Perspective Shapes Learning

Every learner brings prior knowledge, experiences, assumptions, strengths, challenges, and perspectives into a learning environment.

Effective instructional design begins by understanding those differences—not simply deciding what information needs to be presented.

My approach considers the learner, the environment, the desired performance, and the barriers that may stand between knowing and doing.
