A highly motivated and results-oriented double board-certified mental health nurse practitioner with over 5 years of advanced practice experience and nearly 20 years of total nursing experience, I am a compassionate provider dedicated to exceptional patient care. My background encompasses diverse settings, including mental health, urology, family practice, pediatrics, dermatology, women's health, and occupational health. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I cultivated my skills in critical care areas as a registered nurse, including perioperative, emergency, and medical surgical nursing.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, exceptional interpersonal skills, and the ability to work effectively both independently and collaboratively. As a team player, I am always willing to pitch in and assist with any task, while also excelling at coaching and training other health team personnel. My dedication to patient well-being extends beyond treatment; I am an advocate for patient and family education, providing compassionate and inclusive care that fosters self-sufficiency. This commitment has been recognized by the prestigious Daisy Award (2018).
