For the last 6 years, I have included housecall visits to my practice, where the provider comes to the patient in assisted living facilities or at home. - I have 14 years of experience with hospice and palliative care.
- 8 years working in podiatry; preventative foot care, injections, ingrown nail removal and more.
- 5 years of being a qualified medical provider for medicinal cannabis.
I wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl. Probably because my mom was one. I was always taking care of people in my youth. I had this drive to help people and have a career in nursing, which not only allowed for me to care for patients in various patient care settings, but also led me to educate future nurses and then to a post-master’s degree in family practice. I have my LPN/AND (1194/1996) and BSN through Weber State University (2002); MSN through University of Phoenix (2004) and a post master’s certificate in nurse practitioner in 2008. With my education and experience, I can help people even more than I had dreamed, which has been a blessing! I also have a passion for providing community, patient and family education.
(I thoroughly enjoy being a nurse practitioner and so grateful for the opportunity to care for so many people throughout my career in so many different aspects. Helping patients and families in any capacity is a complete joy. I have 5 children and 2 grandchildren from a foster daughter. My children are my best accomplishment! I don’t have a lot of free time but enjoy spending time with family and friends.)
