I am an undergraduate nursing student in the Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) program at the Myhal School of Nursing, Niagara College. As a Team Research Assistant, I support the design, development, implementation, and dissemination of assigned ONSET projects. Furthermore, I assist the team in knowledge translation, presentations, and manuscript preparation. I support the Principal Investigator and help maintain consistency in research procedures, team operations, and project execution.

My research interests include addressing healthcare disparities, maintaining clinical competency in new graduate nurses, and psychological safety and healthcare worker burnout. I am particularly interested in the transitions nurses face after graduation and how the shift from academic environments to complex, high-pressure clinical settings affects their confidence, competence, and mental health.

I view research as a continuous process of challenging assumptions and strengthening the evidence that guides our nursing care. Being actively involved in research, rather than simply applying it, has deepened my understanding of how knowledge is built, challenged, and translated into better care. I believe research is one of the most meaningful ways we can work toward better outcomes for patients, providers, and the healthcare system as a whole.
