I joined APA in October 2018. I’m a certified family nurse practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). I grew up in Wichita, Kansas and completed my undergraduate studies at Kansas State University and received my BSN from Washburn University. I received my MSN from Wichita State University. After graduating with my MSN I moved to Austin, Texas and lived there for 10 years. I worked in pain management, neurosurgery and men’s health while in Texas. I moved to California in January 2017 and worked in pain management before starting at APA. I have really enjoyed working in mental health and enjoy working for APA. It is very rewarding and I enjoy getting to know my patients. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, watching football and taking vacations whenever I can.
