Nurse Practitioner
As an experienced and compassionate Nurse Practitioner (NP) with over 12 years of expertise in providing high-quality patient care across diverse healthcare settings, I completed my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Family Nurse Practitioner certification through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) in 2024. Before that, I honed my skills in the Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department as a Critical Care Nurse.
I am passionate about patient-centered care and believe in the importance of a holistic approach to health. My goal is to empower patients with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve optimal wellness.
Outside of my clinical practice, I love spending time with my husband and three children. We enjoy being outdoors, participating in sports events, and traveling.
Nurse Practitioner
With ten years of experience in healthcare, I am a dedicated and highly skilled Nurse Practitioner committed to providing exceptional patient-centered care. After earning a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree five years ago, I started practicing as a Nurse Practitioner in a primary care clinic. With the desire to specialize my skills, I took a leap into pulmonary medicine. I take a holistic approach to health and wellness, ensuring patients receive comprehensive and compassionate treatment.
Passionate about health education and disease prevention, I strive to empower patients with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed healthcare decisions. At Arkansas Lung Center, I offer personalized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs, emphasizing evidence-based practices and the latest medical advancements. I am dedicated to improving patient outcomes and overall well-being.
When not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with family, painting, drawing, reading, fishing, and just taking time for self-care.
Nurse Practitioner
As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, I have extensive experience in family practice and wound care. I am excited to support my Russellville community by serving patients at Arkansas Lung Center and expanding my specialization into pulmonary care. I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients. My commitment to patient-centered care is evident in my holistic approach, ensuring that each individual receives personalized treatment tailored to their unique needs.
I hold a Master of Science in Nursing and earned my undergraduate degree from Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, where I resided for over 30 years. My academic background and years of practical experience have equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of family medicine and wound care.
Recently, I relocated to Lamar to embrace farm life, a move that reflects my love for nature and a desire for a balanced lifestyle. Outside of my professional commitments, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and two children, tending to my garden, and caring for my multitude of farm animals. My passion for gardening and animal care is a testament to my nurturing spirit, both in my personal and professional life.
My dedication to my patients, combined with my extensive expertise and compassionate approach, makes me a trusted and respected healthcare provider in my community.
