Teaching
Teaching keeps me up to date on the latest research and medical advancements. It allows me to share my experiences and knowledge with students, and to learn from their experiences as well. Together, we get to explore the field of neonatology and shape the future of it.
My goal is to instill curiosity, passion, and confidence in the nurses of the future so that they can forge ahead within the field of neonatology, and make a difference as students and, one day, as esteemed colleagues.
