I’m starting another round of data pull with my ‘Nurse Attrition’ project sponsor. This time, I will focus on the surgery center setting. Feel free to reach out, I’m open to research collaboration or just talk together.

Hi there, I’m delighted to meet and chat in person.

• I’ll present my VN work at Empirical Workshop of Operations Management, Sept 26, 2025 at Philadelphia, PA

• I’ll present my VN work at Job Market Candidate Session at 2025 INFORMS ANNUAL MEETING, Oct 26 to Oct 29, 2025 at Atlanta, GA, USA

• I’ll present my VN work at 2025 DSI ANNUAL CONFERENCE, Nov 22 to Nov 24, 2025, Orlando FL, USA

I recently shared my VN project at Virtual Health System Round Table, with 11 health systems (in and outside North Carolina), with attendees range from leaders of centers for innovation to C-suite, on June 20, 2025.

Clearly, the audience group is excited about the virtual nurse project, and I learnt from the audience about patient care equity and hospital financial evaluations in launching a technology program, such as Virtual Nursing.

This May, I’ve got the first teaching award, UNC Business School Latané Outstanding Student Teaching Award.

According to our PhD Program Coordinator Ali Parlaktürk, “This is a well-deserved honor–Blair did a fabulous job teaching BUSI 403, also served as teaching assistant for several key courses. I reached out to the instructors of those courses, and all enthusiastically supported her nomination.”

I’m so grateful for our Operations Area, all the faculties, lecturers, and prior PhD students for coaching me on teaching.
