I have been a pediatric oncology nurse since graduating with my BS in Nursing in 2003. I then completed my MS in Teaching Nursing and focused my research project on cancer survivorship issues among childhood cancer survivors. After the completion of MS degree, I began teaching at the University of Utah College of Nursing. I have taught many courses ranging from pre-requisites to the MS program. While teaching pediatric clinical rotations, I also conducted research examining the fears and anxiety in nursing students at a pediatric hospital. I currently teach many of the Clinical Management courses, a childhood development course, a nursing education course, and I facilitiate many simulation experiences. I recently received my PhD in nursing focusing on the symptom experience in young children with cancer and hope to further explore this area of research and am currently the Prelicensure Track Director.
