PMHNP-BC, FNP-C

As a Sussex County native, I am excited to start my own practice and have the opportunity to care for those living and moving to the Cape region!

With my mother being a nurse and my father an internal medicine physician since my childhood, I was inspired by their constant dedication and commitment to their patients. Their guidance, advice, and knowledge were instrumental as I returned to nursing school and graduated from Delaware Technical Community College in 2014. For the past seven years, I have worked for Beebe Healthcare in their Emergency Room and Behavioral Health Department. In that time, I continued to learn and advance in my career as a nurse. I found myself desiring to give more to my patients and decided to return to school once again. While continuing to work at Beebe, I completed my Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing in 2018 and my Master of Science Degree in Nursing with a concentration of Family Nurse Practitioner in 2021. As my advanced nursing career continues to unfold, I completed a Post Master’s Degree as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) in 2023. Many patients are suffering from mental health issues and I feel this is where my true passion lies.

I enjoy traveling and spending time with my daughter Hailey. Relaxing on the beach in Lewes and Ocean City with my family is where you can find me in the summer. Finally, I am an avid Philadelphia sports fan and love supporting the Eagles. Win or Lose, GO BIRDS!
