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.

About Me

I’ve called Jacksonville home for more than twenty years, and it’s where my husband and I raised our two children. When I’m not working, I enjoy biking, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.

My approach to care is centered on compassion, accountability, and respect. I see each patient as a whole person, and I work with them to find balance and healing that fits their life. It’s important to me that people feel safe, valued, and empowered to take part in their own care.
