Dr. Elliott joined OHSU in 2015, teaching initially in Ashland, before moving to Portland.

In 2021 she transitioned back to teaching on the Portland campus after completing her doctorate work in 2020, which focused on researching accelerated baccalaureate undergraduate nursing students and their perceptions of blended learning environments.
