Summary

• As a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree and over a decade of clinical experience across both healthcare and academic settings, I have developed a well-rounded expertise in both inpatient acute care and community outpatient care.
  
  My research interests focus on the integration of medical and psychiatric healthcare services, particularly for underserved populations. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees from George Mason University and completed a Master of Science in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner focus at the George Washington School of Nursing. I also hold a Post-Masters Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing.
  
  With a strong foundation in evidence-based practices, clinical reasoning, and comprehensive treatment plan development, I specialize in conducting thorough mental health assessments, implementing diagnostic strategies, managing pharmacotherapy, and providing individualized care. Additionally, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring students, contributing to the development of future healthcare professionals.
