About Me
I am a family nurse practitioner with experience as an NP since 2018. Both my bachelors & master’s degrees in Nursing were obtained from Northwestern State University, where I graduated Suma Cum Laude. I have worked for over 16 years in healthcare specialties including Cardiology, ICU, Anesthesia, and Neurosurgery. I earned my functional medicine certification from the Functional Medicine Academy and love helping people to live a fuller, better quality of life. In my free time, I enjoy serving in my local church, hiking, drinking coffee, and spending time with my family.What I have learned from my clinical experience is that listening, empathy, and tending to a patient’s basic human needs make the biggest difference. Sometimes a patient just needs someone to talk to, offer some comforting words, or provide accurate advice with a kind and informed perspective for their specific situation. Healthcare NEEDS to be personal and individualized to be effective.When I left my last full time position, my goal was to help people prevent illness from a “root-cause” perspective rather than doing damage control in the aftermath of one. My passion is helping others, specifically those who want to help themselves. I love to love others. And I would love to help you.
