Past Co-President, Membership Committee Member, Finance Committee Member

AAPPN has been my go-to organization for PMHNP related resources since I was a trainee. I appreciate having AAPPN as a home base for professional networking, clinical consultation, and PMHNP advocacy.
Over the years, AAPPN has helped me to anchor on the core values of being a PMHNP. I am inspired by the organization’s mission and its members’ dedication to the profession. It would be my honor to serve on the AAPPN leadership team. My goal is to be an effective liaison connecting practice, education, and science to continue advancing our profession.
I am a board-certified PMHNP, practicing in the community-based outpatient mental health setting since 2004, serving a diverse population with chronic mental illness and trauma history. In addition to my clinical practice, I have a dual career in higher education, focusing on research, teaching, and mentoring.
