As an advanced practice registered nurse, I give my patients quality care with compassion and understanding. Whether a yearly exam, a sick visit or anything in between, finding the care plan that’s right for them is my focus. I enjoy talking with and getting to know my patients and even though I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, I prefer English. I was born in Ohio, grew up in Georgia, but have called Tallahassee my home for the past 10 years. My nursing career was inspired by my grandmother, who worked selflessly as a nurse, and my parents, who both worked in the medical field as well. Their diligence and kindness as providers set a long-lasting example and defined my passion for patient care. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially my husband, and our tuxedo cat, August. My list of hobbies is long, but most often I find myself exercising, reading, traveling, and eating great food.
