About Me

I am a native of Largo, Florida, and I currently reside in Orange Park with my husband and our two daughters. In our free time, we enjoy spending time outdoors, visiting family-friendly attractions and relaxing by the pool. We also love to travel, especially to warm, tropical destinations. One of our favorite getaways is spending time together at Sandals Resorts, where we enjoy the peaceful island atmosphere and quality family time.

As a board-certified family nurse practitioner with a foundation in emergency medicine, I am committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. My clinical experience in the emergency department has equipped me with the ability to think critically, respond confidently in high-pressure situations, and provide compassionate care during challenging moments. I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their health concerns. My goal is to partner with individuals in their care, offering guidance, education, and personalized treatment to support their overall well-being.

I am also passionate about giving back to the community through health education and outreach. I believe in promoting accessible care, supporting preventative health initiatives, and empowering families to lead healthier lives. Whether in the clinic or the community, I aim to make a meaningful impact through compassionate care and advocacy.
