Summary

• As a dual Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC/PMHNP-BC), I've built a robust 20-year career in healthcare, evolving from a Home Health Aide to my current role. My experience spans acute and long-term care settings, including specialties such as Neurology, Urology, Gynecology, Rehabilitation, General Medicine, and Cardiac ICU. I am skilled in performing medical histories, physical examinations, assessments, diagnosing, treatment planning, prescribing medications, and ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests.
  My time as a Mental Health Therapy Aide at Rockland Psychiatric Center deepened my commitment to mental health, driving my ambition to advance in the nursing profession and provide integrative care. I focus on delivering comprehensive, culturally competent care, addressing social determinants of health, and integrating mental health into primary care.
  As a PMHNP, I leverage my diverse background to offer holistic care to both adult and pediatric patients. I am dedicated to inter-professional collaboration and serving vulnerable populations, emphasizing crisis intervention and improving access to care for underserved communities through telemedicine. I aspire to practice in innovative healthcare facilities that prioritize a collaborative approach to patient care and embrace advancements in healthcare technology. My goal is to explore and enhance the integration of mental health services within primary care for a truly holistic approach to patient well-being.
