What I'm looking for

I seek patient-centered FNP roles where I can deliver primary or hospice care, support patient self-management, mentor staff, and lead quality improvement.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with extensive clinical experience across primary care, urgent care, emergency, and hospice settings. I hold an M.S.N. in Family Nurse Practitioner and maintain active APRN and RN licensure in Georgia.

My career spans direct patient care roles including hospice FNP, clinic FNP at retail clinics, emergency department staff nurse, and community health work internationally. I have served as a clinic manager and have experience in disability analysis and office management, demonstrating operational and leadership capabilities.

Clinically, I emphasize evidence-based practice and patient self-management; my graduate capstone on technology-enhanced diabetes self-efficacy won the Outstanding Capstone Award and a Sigma Theta Tau recognition. I maintain BLS certification and AANP membership to support ongoing professional development.

I bring a patient-centered approach, strong clinical judgment, and experience mentoring clinical teams. I seek roles where I can provide holistic family-focused care and contribute to quality improvement and patient education initiatives.
