I am a dually certified PMHNP and FNP. I received my initial bachelor’s degree from Brown University in Human Biology: Brain and Behavior. I received a master’s degree in Teaching and taught for 9 years beginning with Teach for America. I received both my BSN and MSN from Emory University, which is where my nursing career originally began. I received my PMHNP certification from Southeastern Louisiana University. Most of my work experience has been in rural health and involved integrated care amongst outpatient clinic, nursing homes, group homes, school-based clinic, sleep study clinic, ER and primary care.
I am most passionate about my work with pregnant refugee women in Georgia and helping them to navigate a healthcare system that was not familiar to them and in a language that they were not accustomed to. I was able to assist and advocate pre and post pregnancy.
