Dr. Shaffer received her Doctorate in Education from the University of Delaware in Educational Leadership. She
received her Master’s in Education from Mansfield University focusing on Nursing Education, and a Bachelor of
Science in Nursing degree from Thomas Jefferson University College of Nursing. She has been a nurse for over
25 years with expertise in neurology and community health. Dr. Shaffer has spent the last 13 years in academia
at Thomas Jefferson University focusing on transitioning student nurses to practice.
Dr. Shaffer also served as curriculum implementation committee chair, responsible for transforming clinical
education and creating learning environments to facilitate student understanding and enhance their skill set in
promoting and maintaining population health. Dr. Shaffer has collaborated with several health profession
colleges at Jefferson to provide experiential learning opportunities for interprofessional health care students,
serving some of Philadelphia's most vulnerable populations. Her innovative strategies have been presented at
national conferences.
Her current area of interest is in developing innovative educational strategies and researching their impact on
healthcare delivery and population health. Her clinical work in the community has led to a workforce
development grant, focusing on supporting Emergency Department staff while decreasing the stigma of care for
those affected by the opioid crisis.
“ I embody the vision of the college everyday to reimagine, transform, and disrupt the way we lead and
impact society. The possibilities are LIMITLESS.”

Mrs. Fulford has spent more than 11 years working clinically in a mental health crisis center. During this time
she helped to develop a crisis residential program as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization. Mrs. Fulford
worked for 4 years in the inpatient mental health setting with adolescent and pediatric populations diagnosed
with mental health disorders. For one year, Mrs. Fulford worked as a research nurse on a project for the
telephonic management of depression with the veteran population. Mrs. Fulford developed and taught the
course Nursing Care of the Veteran Population for Penn State University Abington Campus. Mrs. Fulford has
spent the last 12 years teaching mental health nursing concepts to undergraduate nursing students.

health.”
