First, and above all, I have a wonderful family whom my life is dedicated to. My husband, Phillip, my daughter Logan, and my twin boys, Jayce and Camden. I spend my free time chasing my kids around mostly! But, otherwise, I love to spend any free time I do have outdoors, rain or shine. I earned my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing in 2017 and Master's of Science in Nursing in 2022, both from East Tennessee State University. I have a 5 year background in cardiovascular and pulmonary critical care medicine. My passion for family practice started with taking care of patients on their deathbeds in the ICU, as well as living through tragedies within my own family. I knew there was a significant need for preventative medicine in today's society, and this was the Lord's reason for the losses in my life; to put me in a position to help prevent families and patients from suffering. I have a special interest in women's health from teens to older adults. The most important lesson my dad taught me before he passed was to never give up, and never quit anything, nor anyone. I was once told that a good provider treats the disease, but a great provider treats the person who has the disease. I strive to never stop trying to give my patients the best quality of life achievable. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men," Colossians 3:23
