About

About me
As a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner, I am committed to delivering exceptional healthcare in my community. With a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Bradley University and over a decade of rich experience, I specialize in comprehensive care for patients of all ages. I devote myself to preventive medicine, ensuring each patient receives personalized attention and the best care possible.

In my current roles at Sulphur Springs Medical Center and Charles William Leighton Jr. Hospice, I focus on holistic patient care, coordinating with healthcare teams to achieve optimal outcomes. I believe in the power of evidence-based practice and health education, striving to make a positive impact on my rural community.

Having worked in various settings, including hospitals, hospices, and health clinics, I have honed my ability to manage diverse medical cases. My commitment is to foster a welcoming atmosphere where patients feel supported and understood. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time in nature and staying active within my community.
 
Treatment philosophy
I believe in a compassionate, patient-centered approach to healthcare. Each patient is unique, deserving personalized attention and care. My experience in hospice and primary care has taught me the importance of listening and understanding my patients’ needs. I prioritize preventive care and health education to empower patients in their health journeys. Working collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team enhances the quality of care we provide. My commitment to evidence-based practice ensures optimal outcomes. I strive to make healthcare accessible and engaging for everyone, especially in our rural community. Together, we can achieve better health and wellness.
