Teaching

I teach N2155 Clinical - Patients with Chronic Health Challenges which suits my clinical nursing expertise in geriatric rehabilitation. I am also assisting with N3092 - Nursing Research. 

In the past I have taught courses in data analysis and professional practice to nursing students in the 4-year BScN program and quantitative methodology to students in the nursing graduate program at the University of Western Ontario. I also have 12 years of experience working as a teaching and lab assistant for a wide range of kinesiology and nursing courses.
