Biography

I graduated with my BS in nursing from BYU in 2007. I then worked in the cardiothoracic ICU at the renowned Cleveland Clinic. In fall 2009, I moved to Charlottesville, VA to attend the University of Virginia for nurse practitioner and PhD schooling. I graduated with my MSN as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2011, post-master's Adult-Gero Acute Care Nurse Practitioner in 2013, and finally my PhD in 2014. I joined the BYU College of Nursing faculty in fall of 2014. I work approximately 1 day per week as a Nurse Practitioner in a family practice clinic.
