Research Expertise & Interests
Comprehensive Food Allergy Management for Nurses: Clinical Practices, Advocacy, and Support Strategies
Currently writing a chapter for a nursing book regarding food allergies. Chapter title, “The Social and Emotional Impacts of Food Allergy.”
Implementation of Stock Epinephrine in an Early Childhood Education Setting
Food allergies impact approximately 5.8% of children in the United States, and the risk extends beyond those with a known diagnosis. Data show that nearly 25% of life-threatening allergic reactions in schools and childcare settings occur in children with no prior history of allergy. Early childhood education centers are especially vulnerable, with over 60% of school-based food allergy reactions occurring in preschools and childcare facilities. Because anaphylaxis can escalate rapidly and become fatal without prompt treatment, access to epinephrine, the only life-saving treatment is essential. Implementing a stock epinephrine program in these settings ensures that all children, regardless of allergy history, have immediate access to lifesaving emergency treatment if experiencing anaphylaxis.
Investigation of student learning using Transfr VR simulations: Impact of using VR simulations on student outcomes
A pilot study was conducted at the University of Northern Colorado during Summer and Fall 2024 to explore the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) in undergraduate education. This initiative aimed to investigate students’ experiences and perceptions of using VR simulations as a tool for learning and skill development. The findings will offer valuable insights into the potential of immersive technologies to enhance engagement and training in academic settings.
