What I'm looking for

I want to provide adult-gerontology primary care and functional wellness while contributing rigorous VA disability-exam expertise—using telemedicine, coordinated documentation, and prevention-focused education within a quality-driven team.

I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice-prepared Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (2024). My work blends VA Compensation & Pension medical disability evaluations with comprehensive outpatient, home-based, and wellness-focused care.

Since 2025, I’ve performed VA C&P and Medical Disability Examinations using DBQs, reviewing service treatment records, VA medical records, private medical records, imaging, and supporting evidence. I prepare objective, evidence-based medical opinions on diagnosis, service connection, secondary service connection, aggravation, toxic exposure, and functional impairment while meeting VA quality assurance standards and federal turnaround requirements.

I also founded Drip & Sip Wellness to help patients optimize long-term health through proactive lifestyle medicine, nutrition, functional medicine, preventive care, and patient education. Earlier in my career as an RN case manager and clinical service liaison, I coordinated complex care transitions, and I completed an evidence-based I-PASS multimedia education program at Augusta University Medical Center to strengthen handoff communication and patient safety.
