What I'm looking for

I seek clinical roles where I can provide patient-centered pain and addiction care, use telehealth, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and continue professional growth.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner dedicated to improving patients' lives through compassionate, evidence-based care. I graduated with an FNP degree from Grand Canyon University and bring grounded clinical experience in pain management and medication-assisted treatment.

My work includes telemedicine examinations, comprehensive medical and psychiatric histories, and management of complex chronic pain using multimodal treatments. I have experience reviewing imaging and ordering interventional procedures when appropriate.

I have extensive experience diagnosing and treating substance use disorders across inpatient and outpatient settings, including prescribing MAT such as methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), and naltrexone (Vivitrol). I routinely care for diverse adult populations, including pregnant patients.

I am patient-focused, value continuous education, and strive to support recovery and long-term health through collaborative care plans and symptom management.
