I graduated in 1999 from Mississippi College with my BSN. My career in medical-surgical nursing, and then transitioned into women’s health. I completed my MSN with emphasis in Nursing Education in 2008 from Belmont University, and I transitioned into a clinical educator position in women’s health. I transitioned my career and spent time working on a cardiac stepdown unit. I spent 5 years teaching at a community college while working per diem in women’s health. My interest in pregnancy and addiction led me to work at an addiction unit in a psychiatric hospital. My role transitioned to supervisor and then to a manager. I completed my DNP with emphasis in executive leadership in 2024 from Union University, and I received my certification from ANCC as a Nurse Executive. I have taught clinical for many years, and I enjoy working with students.

I have two children, and I enjoy being active.
