NATALIE FRANDSEN, PhD

"When I think of Natalie I think of a warm authentic presence, a genuine support guide. She

makes her students feel at ease as she touches base often and gets involved a lot as an instructor

even though the courses (in my case) were online. She's very fair and made sure that everyone participated: online courses can be tricky in that way."

"Natalie is a prime example of a passionate, creative and authentically
student-centered educator. It is clear that she uses her skill as an educator to
improve the world."

"Natalie's work ethic and realistic approach were most valuable during our clinical. She went above and beyond to ensure we got as many public health nursing opportunities as possible. Furthermore, her approach was very realistic, enabling us to truly understand what public health nursing is. Lastly, she was very informative and taught from an evidence-based approach!"

"I have always appreciated how Natalie’s classes challenged me to think critically and

introspectively about the course material. Through the course assignments and discussions, I was

consistently inspired to consider how the material related to my life and academic work,

especially within the context of my undergraduate area of focus."

"Natalie, is by far one of the most supportive humans I have gotten the pleasure of knowing

throughout my post secondary career. Her supportive and encouraging words kept me

motivated to excel in all courses."
