I am a board-certified lactation consultant and a family nurse practitioner. I have worked in pediatrics for 17 years and been a nurse for over twenty years. A graduate of ECU College of Nursing with her BSN, MSN, and DNP, I belief nursing education is vital to enhance the overall healthcare of our community. I have previously sat on the National Pediatric Obesity Committee for the Obesity Medical Association. I have developed several FIT CAMP programs for patients within her practice and works to advocate for childhood obesity awareness. I completed the nursing educator certification from ECU College of Nursing in 2022 and my Health Care Disaster Certificate in 2023. I graduate in December 2024 with my PMHNP. I am a board certified as a family nurse practitioner, lactation consultant, psychiatric mental health nurse, and national healthcare disaster professional. I enjoy working with breastfeeding mothers through telehealth and in-person visits. I host an online breastfeeding support group and teaches parenting classes. I see all ages, from newborns to college, and has a growing interest in treating patients with behavioral concerns and ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I was selected as a North Carolina Great 100 Nurse for 2022 and the AANP Leadership Cohort for 2022. I enjoy photography and community events in her spare time.
