Healthcare as always been more than a career for me — it has been a lifelong passion rooted in compassion, healing, education, and helping others improve their quality of life. As the original founder of Heritage Wellness, my goal has always been to create a welcoming environment where individuals feel supported, heard, and empowered in their wellness journey.

With more than 20 years of nursing experience, I have worked in multiple areas of healthcare including long-term care, inpatient rehabilitation, internal medicine, endocrinology, general surgery, neurovascular care, home dialysis, correctional nursing, and behavioral health. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the connection between physical health, mental well-being, lifestyle, and preventive care.

One of my greatest passions is patient education. I enjoy helping individuals better understand their health and encouraging realistic, sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term wellness. I believe in a wellness-focused, whole-person approach that considers physical, mental, emotional, and lifestyle factors when supporting overall health and healing.

I am currently completing my Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner program while continuing to grow Heritage Wellness with a focus on integrity, education, wellness, and community impact.

Outside of healthcare, I value faith, family, lifelong learning, traveling, and spending time in nature.
