Teaching & Mentorship
Inspiring the Next Generation of Nurses
My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that learning is intentional collaborative and reciprocal.
Students and educators grow alongside one another, shaping knowledge together. When education embraces the full range of voices and lived experiences, it not only enriches understanding but also prepares future leaders to push the boundaries of science and to champion fairness in health care our interconnected world.
At the University of Utah
I teach courses spanning nursing and gerontology, including:
- NURS 6603: Chronic Problems of Adults and Elders
- GERON 5500/6500: Social and Public Policy in Aging
- GERON 6235-090: The Aging Mind
- NURS 7455: Research with Diverse Populations
- GERON 5003/6003: Research Methods in Aging
- GERON 3001: Experiences in Aging
- GERON 6001-090: Introduction to Aging
- GERON 3220/5220: Caregiving and Aging Families
Through these courses, I strive to cultivate critical thinkers, collaborators, and problem-solvers who understand how local and international issues are interconnected and who can respond through a lens that prioritizes fairness, amplifies marginalized voices, and seeks to create meaningful opportunities for all.
