"Being at UPEI means joining a close-knit, student-focused learning community"

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to teach here?

I grew up in Kensington, Prince Edward Island and as a UPEI Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) graduate myself, I experienced first-hand the supportive learning community here. After working in clinical practice and returning for my Master of Nursing, I was drawn back to UPEI because of its commitment to primary health care, student-centered teaching, and innovation in simulation-based education.

REMINDER! UPEI is accepting nominations for UPEI Founders until January 14
