About
I have been teaching at RMIT University within the nursing and pharmaceutical teams since 2016 and a proud and passionate Registered Nurse for over two decades. My background speciality is Critical Care and I have nursed in both Australia and England.
As a lecturer and registered nurse, I prioritise collaboration, teamwork, innovation and continuous improvement, where feedback is valued. I am dedicated to enhancing student education and success through the development and delivery of comprehensive and engaging learning experiences.
Over the course of my career, I have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to fostering excellence in nursing education through the integration of simulation-based learning methodologies. I am currently completing a PhD focusing on my research topic of ‘exploring extended ward immersion using simulation-based education to prepare undergraduate nursing students for professional practice.’

Teaching interests
I primarily teach second and third-year students in the Bachelor of Nursing program.

I also enjoy creating and delivering lectures, tutorials, skills laboratories, simulation activities and a variety of assessment tasks across the program.
Research interests
Over the course of my career, I have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to fostering excellence in nursing education through the integration of simulation-based learning methodologies. I am currently completing a PhD focusing on my research topic of ‘exploring extended ward immersion using simulation-based education to prepare undergraduate nursing students for professional practice.’
The aim of the study is the comparison of teaching interventions used within extended ward-based SBE to prepare third-year, final semester UG nurses for professional practice and designing simulation scenarios that reflect real-world clinical challenges and thereby enhancing student preparedness and clinical competency.
