From an early age, my interest surrounding the medical field and the ability to improve the lives of others was ascertained. The joy produced with each small opportunity to lend a helping hand led me to pursue a lifelong goal dedicated to serving others.

​

I began my nursing career at the age of 20 and gained valuable experience treating patients across the lifespan. I went on to pursue a graduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and I am now a master’s-prepared Family Nurse Practitioner.

​

Working in healthcare, I have the daily opportunity to make lasting impressions on members of society. I value developing therapeutic relationships with patients and working as a team to best meet their individualized needs.

​

I strongly believe that patients are the best historians, and active listening is a simple, but necessary skill. My philosophy as a Family Nurse Practitioner is to provide holistic, patient-centered care in a manner that fosters shared decision making, health literacy and overall wellbeing.
