Currently pursuing a PhD in Nursing Education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). My research interests focus on the influencing factors of acute care nurses' self-reported palliative care practices, as well as models of critical care palliative and end-of-life care integration and their effects on informal (family) and formal caregivers of patients with life-limiting illness, and undergraduate nursing education, particularly end-of-life care preparation.
