Research

I completed a PhD in Nursing from the University of Alberta in which I focused on advancing the investigation of incivility in nursing education from the perspectives of nursing students. My postdoctoral work at the University of Alberta included using various analytical methods in examining quality of work life outcomes of managers, nurses, and healthcare aides in long term care. I am interested in understanding and improving workplace issues for the nursing and healthcare workforce. My specific research interests include workplace incivility and bullying, nursing education, aging and long-term care, workforce retention, and the role of leadership. My expertise includes quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods in addition to systematic literature reviews.
