For as long as I can remember, I have had an interest in health and wellness. I originally started my nursing career in 2011 and have experience in emergency, cardiology, hospice and long-term care. While working as a hospice nurse, I became interested in preventative medicine and attended Southwest Institute of Healing Arts and Cornell University. Over the years I have received certifications in wellness coaching, holistic nutrition, mindfulness and stress management techniques. My advanced practice nursing degree was obtained from the University of Cincinnati, with a Master of Science in Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner and my undergraduate was from Ohio University. I hold an advanced BHRT Certification through WorldLink Medical with Dr. Neil Rouzier, where I’ve gained knowledge in the latest medical treatments for chronic disease prevention, grounded in hormone therapy.

I am passionate about focusing on wellness that is centered around helping patients restore their vitality and energy through hormone optimization, weight loss peptides, sexual wellness and performance recovery modalities. I feel grateful to be part of Optimize U and to now be on the side of “well care” vs “sick care”. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three grown children. I love anything outdoors, staying active and spending time with friends. I also am a proud Veteran of the U.S. Navy.
