With a career spanning over two decades, I bring extensive experience to Ferry Farm Health and Wellness as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I graduated with honors with a Master?s in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor?s in Science from the University of Oklahoma. My career began in the U.S. Army, where I served as a nurse in various locations, including Fort Sam Houston, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, The Pentagon Health Clinic, and the Keller Army Hospital at West Point. I am an active member of several professional organizations, including the Virginia Council of Nurse Practitioners, the American Nurses Association, and Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. My accolades include Reynold?s Army Hospital?s Nurse of the Year award and the Army Commendation Medal. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, trying new restaurants, decorating my home, and spending time with my husband, two children, and three dogs.
Nurse practitioners have proven more important to the healthcare industry than ever before, especially related to primary care. We focus on providing counseling and patient education as part of primary care. We consider factors like lifestyles, physical and mental well-being when it comes to determining your health care needs. As nurse practitioners we provide care for the whole person rather than focusing on one or two health concerns
