Biography

I have been a nurse educator for 19 years. I am currently the program director of the University of New Mexico Valencia Nursing Program and serve as the Health Sciences Division Chair overseeing both the nursing and allied health programs. Additionally, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and a Master of Science in Nursing Education. I have presented at local, national and international conferences on nursing simulation. Most recently, I presented at the SimGhosts-EP conference in El Paso Texas, where I presented “Using Learning Theory: Gangé’s Theory As A Framework For Simulation.”

I am currently a Ph.D. student at the University of New Mexico in Educational Psychology. Through the expertise provided by, Dr. Jay Parkes, I am researching the cognitive and metacognitive processes that students use to approach, analyze and answer multiple choice examination questions.
