American Academy of Nurse Practitioners
As a certified family nurse practitioner, my current role is specializing in pulmonology, helping to manage various lung disorders. My prior position was in internal medicine as a primary care provider in Florida. I believe in treating my patients the way I want my family treated. I love being able to help educate patients about their health, and I want the patient to be a partner in their care. My family and I moved to North Carolina in March 2024 to be closer to the mountains. I am excited to discover North Carolina and enjoy outdoor adventures.
American Academy of Nurse Practitioners
I specialize in pulmonology and critical care. When caring for patients, I pushed myself to learn everything possible to help them regain a good quality of life. My patients appreciate my close communication with them. I have learned that no matter what the news is or whatever the outcome may be, it is crucial to reach out and speak to our patients to discuss findings and plans for care. I am happy to have the opportunity to do what I have trained for my entire life. I thank God for this blessing and will work hard to serve and give back to my community. In my personal life, I’m happily married and have three beautiful daughters.
