Dr. Winters has quite possibly been one of the most influential instructors in the pursuit of my DNP degree. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her, marking herself readily available for her students. It is very obvious that she has a genuine interest in academia and helping her students pursue their goals. She is one of the most knowledgeable people I have known and is very humble. This makes her approachable and easy to ask questions and learn from. She has always treated her students, including me, with consideration and thoughtfulness. She has followed up on every email I have sent her and every appointment I have made with her, even on her days off. She has truly exceeded what I expect of any instructor, and I will forever be grateful for how she has shaped my time in the program.
