Summary

  • I am an FNP practicing in my hometown of Sandersville Georgia. I am interested in providing treatment of disease and promoting overall health and well being for patients in underserved areas. My areas of interest are mental illness and heart disease. I was elected Associate Fellow American College of Cardiology in 2017 and took my oath in 2018. My mission is to diminish disparities in healthcare and prevent marginalization of those without healthcare coverage. I am a doctoral candidate in the dual Executive DNP/ MPH program at Johns Hopkins University with the goal of improving community understanding regarding appropriate utilization of care and improving access to mental healthcare in rural areas. My doctoral dissertation/ MPH capstone involves reducing non- emergent ED visits and improving patient enrollment in the PCMH with the aim of reducing healthcare spending and improving continuity of care and population health outcomes
