I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and attended Rummel High School. From 2005-2011, I had the honor of serving with the Louisiana Army National Guard Washington Artillery based in Jackson Barracks. After Hurricane Katrina, I enrolled in LSU and later obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from LSU Health Sciences Center in 2013. I worked at Ochsner’s Transplant Stepdown Unit starting in 2012 as a patient care technician, then as a nurse and, finally, as an operations coordinator. In 2019, I received my Master of Science in Nursing degree from Southeastern Louisiana University and became certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. After graduation, I led the primary care team at Odyssey House Louisiana. In 2021, I returned to Ochsner as a nurse practitioner at the Lapalco clinic.

I possess extensive experience providing care for patients with a broad range of acute and chronic medical conditions, and am adept at counseling and educating clients and their family in the areas of health promotion, maintenance, and disease prevention. I'm currently a member of American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the Louisiana Association of Nurse Practitioners. I'm also honored to have received the DAISY Award and Master of Science in Nursing Distinguished Scholar award.

I have always been drawn to the science of how to keep both the body and mind healthy. However, I also really enjoy connecting with people and helping others on a personal level. Nursing is a perfect blend of these interests. At Ochsner, I utilize my knowledge and passion to empower my patients to make informed decisions about their health, and work with them to meet their goals.
