About

My Journey & Expertise

I earned my Master’s of Science in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. As a Licensed and Board Certified Psychiatric- Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I treat clients across the lifespan. With a background spanning critical care nursing, emergency/trauma, and community health, I bring a diverse skill set to the realm of mental health care. In 2018, I had the privilege of being awarded the first Global Health Fellowship through the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. This experience ignited my interest in global mental health and deepened my understanding of the diverse factors influencing mental well-being. I have an additional certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

I am currently a PhD Candidate at the University of Arizona, College of Nursing, I remain dedicated to advancing our understanding of mental health through research and education. I am also part of the teaching faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Nursing. As a lecturer, I guide future mental health practitioners in understanding advanced pathophysiology and pharmacology in mental health disorders, contributing to the growth of a compassionate and knowledgeable community of professionals.

My approach as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is characterized by comprehensive evaluations, evidence-based medication management, and an unwavering commitment to your well-being.
