BIO
From my earliest experiences in nursing, I have been drawn to the stories behind each patient. What shaped their struggles, what brough them to the point of crisis and how can I support their journey towards healing. Mental health is not just a career that I chose, but a vocation that aligns with my values, empathy and desire to make a long-lasting impact. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I am committed from providing compassionate, individualized care for each of my patients. I am a graduate of Lincoln Memorial University with Master of Science in Nursing. During my career in nursing, I have had the opportunity to work in diverse settings, including intensive care, emergency units, acute care and community health. My experience in nursing and time spent working alongside psychiatric nurse practitioners has strengthened my resolve to be part of a system that offers all patients not only treatment but dignity and hope.
