Jamie takes a personal interest in student success at WSU. She has always loved teaching and enjoys the opportunity to guide nursing students. She is excited to be part of the innovation and growth at WSU. 

As the director of the graduate nursing programs, my goal is to create an innovative learning experience that prepares students for a variety of opportunities in nursing including leadership, advocacy, and education. Our graduate students are prepared to improve access to healthcare, create policy changes in nursing, educate the next generation of nurses, conduct research and become frontline healthcare clinicians. I am so excited to be able to be a part of each student’s journey to create change and move nursing forward.
