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.

About Me
When I am not working, I happily give my time to my family. I have a wonderful husband and two amazing small children. We enjoy day trips to explore historic St. Augustine, the zoo or the beach on the weekends.
I started my medical career working as a registered nurse in the hospital on an all-women’s oncology unit. Here I developed insight into the complex journey patients undergoing cancer treatment go through and decided to advance my career to help contribute to the mission of ending cancer.
