Nurse Scholars
Being a New Jersey Nursing Scholar means that I have the opportunity to advance my education under an umbrella of support that will ensure my success as a future nurse educator.
My passion lies in fostering the health of children, so my interest is in producing theory and research related to health promotion and disease prevention in vulnerable populations and underserved communities to assist children and their families to stay healthy.
Being a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation New Jersey Nursing Scholar is both an honor and a privilege. RWJF has provided a true sense of family and community since the beginning of this journey. To say that I am proud and grateful only scratches the surface. I look forward to the future and becoming an educator who not only imparts knowledge, but a love of the profession.
With experience as an ICU nurse, I am particularly interested in studying and serving critically ill adults. I am drawn to this area because applying nursing practice to such a broad and varying population provides a daily challenge.
