A Faculty Learning Community: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion in Higher Education

I have years of experience as a nurse faculty member and as an ambassador of diversity, equity, and inclusion. My PhD is in higher education with an emphasis on American Indian education. During my program, I worked diligently to become an Indigenous scholar and sought work where I could use my skills and knowledge. I relocated and worked at Northern Arizona University. For several years, I worked on a grant funded BSN program on the Navajo Reservation. At Georgia Baptist College of Nursing, I serve on the project leadership team for the HRSA NWD Grant: Dedicated to Diversity.
