Welcome! I'm a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner, passionate about providing exceptional care through Telehealth services across Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, and Oregon. My focus is on managing chronic conditions, acute illnesses, medication guidance, and patient education to promote wellness and prevent disease. With years of experience at Titus Regional Medical Center, I've honed my skills in conducting thorough Medicare Annual Wellness visits and preventive health screenings. My role extends to coordinating care for chronic diseases, aiming to minimize hospital readmission and enhance patient outcomes. I'm also well-versed in the nuances of healthcare coding and reimbursement processes, ensuring that patients receive the appropriate resources for their healthcare needs. Prior to my current endeavors, I crafted individualized care plans for hospice patients in their homes, ensuring comfort and comprehensive support during end-of-life care. My journey also includes nurturing pediatric patients with various health challenges in their home environments and supporting mental health patients with compassion and professionalism. My educational foundation includes a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington, complemented by a Bachelor's degree in the same field from the same institution. I began my nursing journey with an Associate Degree from Northeast Texas Community College. I believe in holistic care that addresses both physical and emotional well-being. It's my privilege to be part of your health journey, providing expertise with a heart. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe you are a whole person who in partnership with myself set goals and determine an individualized care plan that works for you.
