About
I am a board-certified Adult Nurse Practitioner specializing in geriatrics and personal injury. I have 30 years of experience and live and practice in the metro Atlanta, GA, area. I am pursuing my PMHNP because I have a strong, passionate desire to help people who have mental illnesses.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Florida A&M University and furthered my education with a Master of Science in Nursing from Emory University.
I served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, and am married with two adult daughters. In addition to being a full-time student, I am passionate about actively participating in my sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc., and traveling
I enjoy watching thriller movies, playing Texas Hold’em poker, and doing water aerobics. I am excited to learn more about you and share our experiences!
