PMHNP, 3 years of experience
I grew up and attended college in Pennsylvania before serving four years in the U.S. Army, which included being stationed in Germany and deployments to Southwest Asia. After my military service, I moved to Florida and began my nursing career. I earned my BSN from the University of Central Florida, followed by a Master's degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Florida State University. In 2024, I further specialized, earning my PMHNP from Walden University. Currently, I'm married with two children, living on a farm in Florida where I love spending time with our horses, going to the beach, and enjoying the outdoors.
