About

I am a Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience in Family Practice. Graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1994 and continued my studies until I achieved my Nurse Practitioner degree in 2001. I am currently working for the Veterans Health Administration as a Nurse Practitioner. I am honored to serve Americas Veterans because I am a veteran myself. I have been in the United States Air Force for over 28 years. As a Lieutenant Colonel, I am a leader and a mentor to my fellow wingmen/women. As a flight leader I manage many programs that help provide a mission ready force. I am currently in the Doctorate of Nursing Practice program because I want to continue my journey as a leader and improve my leadership skills not only within my work setting but in my community.
