I completed my ADN (Samford '86) BSN (Belmont, ‘89) and MSN (Vanderbilt ‘94). I have been married to Brian for 31 years, we have 2 children: Allison, 25 and Mack, 23. I have been a faculty member at Belmont since ‘96; teaching Child and Family Nursing. I have been involved in Simulation since 2007; I am currently the Director of Simulation COHS. In 2010, I completed my PhD in Educational Leadership where I examined the impact of faculty debriefing training on the cognitive outcomes of students. I led the formation of the Tennessee Simulation Alliance and remain active on the board. I am an active member of INACSL, a member of the standards committee. I led the publication of the Professional Development standard. In 2017, I led the SSH accreditation at Belmont, the first center in TN to be accredited. I am a SSH accreditation visitor. In 2019, I was inducted into the NLN Academy of Nursing Education. I currently enjoy spending time at the lake, painting and I am honored to care for my elderly parents. My personal philosophy of simulation education is a direct result of my experience: An excellent clinician does not make an excellent educator, but we must be intentional about professional development in order to provide our learners with excellent educational experiences. I am excited to see where simulation education is headed, the possibilities are endless, and we are charged with ensuring excellence in all areas of this amazing tool!
