She is the Director of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University College of Nursing and works as a visiting Family Nurse Practitioner. She has publications in nursing education and diabetes management.

Research Interest: Nursing has evolved from the traditional role of the bedside setting and has emerged as influential leaders who play a key role in facilitating quality of care and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP). The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project that focuses on EBP is a practical application of advanced nursing knowledge that allows nurses to implement changes that often improve patients’ outcomes almost instantly. The goal of the DNP project is to translate evidence into practice. The DNP students develop and implement the quality improvement projects that significantly contribute to patients’ safety and quality of care in different settings across all levels of care. However, there are some external challenges remaining when it comes to identifying a project question, project design, and project implementation. This presentation will explore possible solutions to mitigate these obstacles and facilitate seamless implementation of the DNP project by developing a suitable proposal, securing support from stakeholders, and demonstrating return on investment.
