I am a board certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in family practice with a post masters certificate in Dermatology. I have been a nurse since 2006, working my way up through my degrees from LPN, RN, BSN, and MSN in that time. As well as, a post masters certificate in dermatology through FAU. I have worked with all ages of patients in a wide range of settings in my nursing career including, acute care, surgical care, long term care and occupational health care. I am also a Certified Health Coach and have done individual and community wellness coaching.
I have worked at the Shenandoah Medical Center since 2011 as a nurse in women's health, as a surgical nurse, as the Occupational Health nurse/wellness coach and now as a family practice provider specializing in Dermatology as well as working in the Walk-in Clinic. I am so happy to continue my career here at SMC, and can't imagine a better facility, community or patients!
My hobbies include traveling and spending time with my husband (Kasey) and our children (Ethan, Aubrey, Ava, and Charly). I also enjoy fitness and exercise regularly and make it a huge part of my life.
