Faculty directory

I obtained my bachelor of science in psychiatric nursing at Douglas College and Masters of science in public health at the University of London in the UK. My nursing background includes acute psychiatry for adults, children and adolescents. As well as, eating disorders and geriatric psychiatry. I was a sessional faculty member at UFV for 2 years and then transitioned to an assistant professor teaching in the LPN access program for semester 1 and 4 and the BSN program semester 4.

I believe in creating an engaging, respectful, and clinically relevant learning environment. My teaching approach is to intentionally break down complex theories into understandable components and to guide students to know not only what the theory is but why it matters in practice. I link course content to clinical scenarios, professional standards, and lived patient experiences. I value a collaborative learning approach where students are active contributors to the learning process.
