I am a compassionate Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience in advanced practice and more than 16 years of experience in healthcare. I earned my Master’s degree in Nursing Education in 2013 and my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing in 2010, both from Liberty University.  I graduated from Purdue University in 2021 with my certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience at the bedside in emergency medicine, critical care, and internal medicine, and spent many years teaching and mentoring future nurses. I am passionate about preventive health and take pride in helping individuals and families feel supported as they manage chronic conditions and work toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. My approach to care is rooted in compassion, connection, and a genuine desire to make a difference in each patient’s journey. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two children in beautiful Lynchburg. I love working with our horses, gardening, and embracing the simple joys of family life—experiences that inspire the warmth and personalized care I bring to my practice every day.
