Professional Summary

I am a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) prepared, adult nurse practitioner (NP) with 30 years of clinical practice experience committed to excellence in patient care and evidence-based practice. My NP certification is in adult primary care and I have achieved an advanced certification in oncology practice. I currently hold a faculty position teaching graduate and doctoral level nursing students while I continue my clinical practice in radiation oncology. As a Senior NP in this clinical position, I conduct new and follow up visits, as well as manage side effects of those patients actively receiving treatment. In this role I function both independently and collaboratively with a Radiation Oncologist. Maintaining the high standards required of advanced oncology certification benefits my clinical practice as well as my teaching. As an Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing, I teach courses within the Master of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs. In addition to numerous service activities for the College and University, I serve as the Coordinator of the Distance Learning AGPC (Adult Gero Primary Care) Nurse Practitioner program since my appointment in October 2015. In this capacity I actively work with marketing, recruitment, and retention services. I serve as a resource and faculty advisor for all students enrolled in this program. I also serve as the Chair for several DNP Student Project Committees. In addition to clinical practice, teaching, and service, I am committed to the scholarship of nursing. I have collaborated with several colleagues to produce peer reviewed published works and have been an invited speaker at national conferences.
