Meet your NEW, local Primary Care Provider -
"I grew up in Blount County and have seen the need for healthcare my entire life. I worked home health for a short time as well as hospice. I saw many situations that I felt needed more, but I was limited in the care I was able to provide then. I now can make the difference in the lives of those around me. Blount County is a special place with a bunch of special people. I truly love the small-town vibes where I can truly get to know my patients, and wave high at Walmart or at the local festival. I am here to help those in need of any age, as I feel led and called to do this!"

Why did you decide to go into healthcare?
At a very young age, I felt led to the medical field. My mother is a nurse and my father a firefighter/paramedic. I enjoyed seeing and hearing about all thing's healthcare from them. After graduating high school, I finished some pre-requisites and applied. I started nursing school, but my grandmother fell and ended up passing away due to surgical complications, so I dropped out to be with family. I became very upset with the situation and wanted to change my major but was quickly pulled back into nursing. I prayed many prayers and re-applied. I was accepted and knew then I was going to complete my master's and make a difference where I could! I love what I do and the relationships that I create. It is not just about your blood pressure, or your stubbed toe, it's about each person as a human individually that matters to me.
What is your area of focus, what are you passionate about helping patients with?
My biggest passion is the endocrine system, but I truly have a passion for whole person health. If one thing is bothering you, it can affect your physical, emotional and mental well-being. I am here for the funny, the sad, the frustrating, and chaotic times! Life brings so many things our way, and your health, whether it is emotional, mental, or physical all matter.
