About Me
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Implementation Science at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
My diverse research portfolio includes serving as the principal investigator and the co-investigator on studies related to nursing workforce and well-being, reproductive loss, continuous vital sign monitoring and non-pharmacological interventions for pain control. I was a doctoral fellow in the National Institutes of Health-sponsored Interventions for Preventing and Managing of Chronic Illness training program.
I am committed to bridging the gap between evidence and practice, which is informed by my background as a nurse practitioner and educator. I firmly believe in the importance of involving front-line health care teams in the research process to generate evidence that is meaningful and readily translatable to the dynamic health care environment.
In my clinical practice, I am the director for nursing research for Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist and a women’s health nurse practitioner with a specialty certification in reproductive endocrinology and infertility nursing.
I received my bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees at the University of North Carolina.
