About Amethyst
I have been practicing as a Nurse Practitioner for the last 4 years, practicing in the Chicagoland area. Prior to obtaining my Master’s degree, I worked as a Registered Nurse for 10 years in several different settings.
My job is more than treating an illness. My approach to service and treatment is always deliver extraordinary patient centered care and is individualized to meet each patient’s needs. I’m a huge advocate for patient’s rights and encourage my patient's to take a proactive approach in their care.
I was born on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and moved to Chicago, IL when I was 18 years old where I was able to attend college and obtain my degrees in nursing. I received my Bachelors and Master’s degree from Chamberlain College of Nursing.
