My approach to patient care involves taking into consideration the cultural background of each individual and providing a holistic systemic approach that aims to restore their mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. I am of the belief that with lifestyle changes, healthy eating habits, exercise, stress reduction techniques and sufficient rest everyone can take steps towards improving their overall health. I am a Board-certified adult/gerontology primary care nurse practitioner. I began my nursing career in the US Army reserves. I’ve worked as a nurse for over 23 years. I’m originally from North Carolina. I received my Bachelors of Nursing and Master of Nursing from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Additionally I obtained a Masters in Adult-Gero nurse practitioner from Post University.
