I am a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I have been a registered nurse for over five years and have worked in various specialties, including neurosurgery, orthopedics, and inpatient adult, child/adolescent, and addiction psychiatry. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing from the University of Florida. I recently moved to Massachusetts to pursue further training at the Boston VA's Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Residency Program in affiliation with Harvard South Shore Psychiatry and the Boston College Connell School of Nursing.
