What classes do you teach?

Currently, I teach undergraduate and graduate lecture series courses on Geriatric Healthcare and Dementia Healthcare.  I also teach an undergraduate course on the Biological Aspects of Aging for the Certificate Program in Gerontology, through UW’s Continuum College.

In the past, I have taught undergraduate and graduate aging-related courses (including lifespan development), graduate research-related courses, and a PhD theory course.

I love the excellence of our faculty and their important contributions to nursing science, education, and practice; the insights that our staff bring to all our endeavors; and – of course – our students, who are the best and brightest!
