I am a dedicated Surgical Nurse Practitioner First Assist, passionate about delivering the highest standard of care in every surgical specialty I support. My journey in healthcare began with a deep commitment to service, which was shaped by 22 years of honorable service in the US Army, National Guard, and Reserves. During this time, I spent 9 years as a Combat Engineer and 13 years as a Nurse and Nurse Practitioner, including deploying to Afghanistan.

I completed my Registered Nurse First Assisting (RNFA) program in 2013, followed by my Nurse Practitioner certification in 2017. I subsequently went on to become certified as a RNFA after assisting in more than 2,000 hours in various specialties.  With these qualifications, I built my practice to be a reliable and skilled partner to surgeons across various disciplines. My mission is simple: to ensure the best possible outcomes by bringing expertise, dedication, and a caring approach to every operating room I enter.

Guided by the principle found in Proverbs 3:27, I am committed to doing good whenever I have the power to act. This philosophy underpins every aspect of my work, driving me to provide exceptional care to both patients and the surgeons I assist.

Outside of the OR, I find joy in spending time with my family, fishing, and camping. These moments of connection and relaxation keep me grounded and energized, ready to face the challenges of each new day.

I look forward to continuing to serve both my patients and the medical community with the same dedication and compassion that have defined my career.
