“My experience with Ramapo began in 2009 as a student in the MSN in Nursing Education program. I chose Ramapo College for my Masters in Nursing Education because I wanted a program that was not 100 percent online. Returning to school as an adult learner, I was interested in the blended learning format that Ramapo College offered in several of the courses in the MSN program.

In the fall of 2011, I was fortunate to return as an instructor in the Nursing Lab and Simulation. I truly enjoy playing a role in students’ achieving their learning outcomes and I am honored to be a member of nursing faculty who consistently demonstrate excellence in teaching.

As a simulation instructor I am able to utilize an innovative teaching strategy that facilitates students’ critical thinking and decision-making in a safe, non-threatening environment to ultimately improve patient outcomes.”
