About Me

Caring for others is my passion, something that I realized at a young age while serving in the US Army as a Special Forces Medical Sergeant. It was during my time in the service that I also found a passion for teaching. During my military career I was given the opportunity to become a Drill Sergeant and tasked with the training of new recruits. After my time in the military, I gained experience as a Paramedic, Registered Nurse, and Family Nurse Practitioner. I have worked in EMS, Level I Trauma nursing, flight nursing, and currently internal medicine. During my career I have had many opportunities to precept student nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. The Nursing profession has opened many doors for me, both professionally, and personally. I believe this to be the greatest decision of my life. I enjoy the opportunity to help mold students and take pride in the moment when I see them solving problems with their newfound skills. My primary goal is to provide a pathway for individuals that may lead to a stronger foundation in their chosen profession. Lastly, I strongly believe that my experience affords me the chance to be helpful as the student continues to build upon their knowledge and ultimately their career. With my keen interest in human biology, internal medicine, and physiology, I look forward to assisting others find their passion.
