I became a family nurse practitioner because I wanted to make a difference in my local community by caring for patients of all ages. I knew that I could have a positive impact by providing quality, patient-centered care.

The best part of my job is knowing that the care I’m providing is making a positive difference for my patients and health outcomes in my community.

Yes, a research interest of mine is holistic medicine and the positive effects it has on patient care.

A mentor who has always helped me find my way and has had a profound influence on my life is my father. He has taught me, through dedication, perseverance, and faith, that anything in life is possible. I never lost sight of that, especially with my father’s support and never-ending love. He is my guiding light in my successes in the nursing community and in life.

I have a beautiful family that I enjoy spending all of my free time with. Our hobbies include hiking, camping, fishing, riding off road vehicles, and spending time with our extended family.
