I am a board-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.
I began my career in pediatric home health and then worked as a Progressive Care RN at Shands Medical Center from 2009–2015. Since 2015, I have worked as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Baptist South. I’ve seen it all! My experience includes adult nursing, pediatrics, newborn care, anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, clinical decision-making, and medical terminology.
While I have not worked as a formal classroom teacher or tutor, teaching has been a regular part of my clinical career. I have oriented and trained new nurses, advanced practice providers, physician assistants and even physicians! I also have nursing students follow me in the clinical setting. I regularly teach one-on-one, answer questions, review patient cases, and explain the reasoning behind clinical decisions.
As a tutor, I focus on figuring out where a student is struggling and breaking the material down in a way that makes sense to them. I like to explain why an answer is correct rather than just giving the answer, and I can use real clinical examples to help students connect what they are learning to patient care. I am especially interested in tutoring nursing and healthcare students in nursing coursework, NCLEX preparation, pediatrics, anatomy and physiology, and medical terminology.
