Advanced Practice Providers
Nurse Practitioners (APRNs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) are an important part of the Baptist Health team and help us increase timely access to care.
You'll see these advanced practice providers caring for patients in a variety of medical specialties at doctor's offices, hospitals, outpatient centers and emergency rooms. They have advanced medical education and work closely with physicians to diagnose and treat patients, and even prescribe medication.

About Me
I was born in Clarksburg, West Virgina, and lived there for a decade. My family relocated to Hagerstown, Maryland, and I lived there until my recent relocation to Jacksonville. When not caring for patients, I love to spend time with my family, travel, shop and watch the Philadelphia Eagles football team.
I focus on listening to patients and involving my patients in every aspect of their care. My patient and I become a team and must work together to achieve our goals.
I have respect for all humans and genuinely love to care for patients. I feel blessed to have the gift of caring and listening to help all patients through their health journey.
