Bio
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of South Carolina and bring experience in both clinical practice and nursing education across diverse healthcare settings. My nursing background includes acute care, emergency nursing, surgical services, correctional health, telehealth, travel nursing, and clinical education.
As a clinical educator, I have served as a new graduate residency instructor, providing hands-on mentorship through bedside teaching and simulation-based learning to support clinical reasoning, confidence, and professional readiness. I have also taught nursing courses with a focus on applying evidence-based practice and developing clinical judgment.
Returning to USC Lancaster as faculty represents a full-circle moment in my professional journey. In this role, I am committed to supporting student success through high-quality clinical education and professional development.
I am proud to be shaping the next generation of nurses at USC Lancaster while carrying forward the tradition of Gamecock excellence!
