Her philosophy of teaching is one that understand that individuals learn at different levels. Therefore, she captures all learning styles through engaging the learner through various modalities which in turn helps them to master complex concepts, bridge the gap in learning, and connecting the dots. She also believes that helping individuals understand their performance (Whether in school or post-graduation) through their academic data, is the key to unlocking the barriers to their success. 

​

She loves to give back to nursing students what she learned over the years. She specializes in active learning strategies, presenting concepts globally to reach various learners, and the ability have students pull concepts forward and connect the dots! She had a nursing professor years ago that inspired her to teach and a former supervisor that sat her down right after she passed her NCLEX and told her to pay it forward! She owes this honor to Nicholas Kalynych, DNP, MSHS, CRNA, ARNP and Professor Jennette Aikens, MSN, RN! She now gives it all back to you!
