My research focuses on quality of life of children with complex heart disease.  In 2007, I completed a  qualitative study that focused on the quality of life of school-aged heart transplant recipients.  I recently applied for funding to continue this work and study the quality of life of adolescents who have undergone heart transplantation.  I am also interested in other psychosocial outcomes in this high-risk population as well as psychosocial outcomes and quality of life of the families of children with complex heart disease. In addition to the work in my primary area of interest, I am working with other researchers on projects focusing on pain assessment in cognitively impaired children, receiving bad news via high-risk obstetrical telemedicine consult, and family centered care in acute care pediatrics. 

I have received funding from the National Institute of Nursing Research, Society of Pediatric Nurses, and the Gamma Xi and Eta chapters of Sigma Theta Tau International.
