Principal Investigator
- Interest in Research: I am deeply passionate about changing the way that we care for people in the ICU. I was a bedside ICU nurse for years and know how complex the care is in the ICU. I knew I could enhance and improve patient care outcomes, so I became a researcher. As a researcher, I can make change happen on a larger scale by conducting studies on how we approach ICU care everywhere.
- Interesting Fact: Prince is my favorite artist of all time and I’m a huge NFL fan (Go Eagles!)
