Nursing and Global Public Health Student at Boston College

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

I work alongside Dr. Christopher Lee, Ph.D., RN, FAHA, FHFSA (Associate Dean of Research, Professor) to perform statistical analysis and fact-checking on research conducted in the field of “Heart Failure Symptom Biochemistry” and more recently, the effects of the dyad and gender on effective care management of chronic illness. I have edited and co-authored three publications in established research journals (Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing and Heart and Lung – The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care).Through this fellowship, I have also helped to develop projects to better market the Connell School of Nursing to prospective faculty and students that also proved the creditability of the research being conducted on our campus.
