I am a board-certified Maternal-Newborn Registered Nurse with more than 30 years of experience. I am a certified Nurse Educator and have worked in Nursing Education for over 15 years. My recent research focuses on men’s experiences with partners who have postpartum depression as well as sexual behaviors of college students. I have also explored the experiences of male nursing students.
