My research to date has focused on student experiences in education, primarily from their perspective. As a research team member and principal investigator, I have explored topics such as safety in clinical learning, rural nursing education, and interprofessional clinical education among other topics. For a list of publications, presentations and more please click here.

Currently I am formulating research ideas around the evaluation of innovative approaches to learning that involve gamification, social media and open educational resources. If you have an idea you would like to discuss or need help with a project please reach out to see if we can collaborate. I have worked on a number of research projects as a Q-methodology consultant that are not listed below or under publications. As a member of the ethics committee at Cambrian College and professor I often help new researchers think through proposal ideas.
