BIO
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who is deeply committed to advocating for individuals who feel unheard and unseen while advocating for more mental health awareness in our community. I started as an LVN in Ohio and began travel nursing which lead me to Texas where I received my BSN at the University of Texas in Arlington. While working in the ICU I continued at UTA to obtain my Masters and became a PMHNP. With a wealth of experience gained from living in many areas across the United States during my life, I have developed a profound understanding of diverse communities and the mental health challenges they face.
