I have taught a great variety of courses over the years on both the undergraduate and graduate level.   My area of expertise is maternity and family nursing and I have taught our courses on maternity nursing, family nursing, nursing research, nursing theory, as well as advance practice nursing roles and leadership.

My main area of interest is women's perception of their health and how that impacts their health seeking behaviors.  In addition, I am interested in job burnout, balancing work and family responsiblities, family dynamics issues, as well as theoretical modeling.

I have served on an extensive range of College and University Committees over the years.
