Research
Throughout much of my career, I have focused on community health nursing practice, education, and research. My particular interest is in developing, applying, and evaluating technological solutions - including use of the Internet and robotic assistive technologies - that enhance independence among community-residing persons with chronic disorders and promote the competence, health, and well-being of families..Teaching
My teaching responsibilities include coordinating the undergraduate community health nursing courses: Community Health Nursing Theory (NUR 1127 and NUR 1227) and Community Health Nursing Theory and Practicum (NUR 1128). She has previously co-taught a graduate-level, project-based course (NUR 2840 Robotic Applications in Clinical Practice) with faculty from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. This innovative course brought together students from the health sciences and students in technology to develop robotic devices designed to help community-residing, frail older adults and persons with disabilities sustain their independence.Service
