“Witnessing the transformation of basic knowledge into practical, real-world applications is a testament to the power of effective education and mentorship. The shift from theory to practice is not just a step forward in educational methodology but a leap toward preparing healthcare professionals for the complexities and realities of modern medical practice.”

She works to harmonize theoretical education with hands-on clinical practice, requiring a deep dive into the latest advancements in medical care and a commitment to nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Skinner currently teaches Graduate Entry and undergraduate high acuity courses. She also works as a staff nurse on a head/neck oncology unit at The Ohio State University James Cancer Hospital. She finds an extraordinary sense of gratification in shaping the future of healthcare and supports the integration of a cross-disciplinary approach that helps future healthcare professionals learn more quickly and confidently how to work together as a team.
