As a fellow Franklin County resident, I am pleased to provide urgent care to my fellow Franklin County residents. I am a graduate of Bunn High School and have lived in Franklin County since 2000. I graduated from Nash Community College with my associate degree in nursing and completed my bachelor’s degree at Winston Salem State. As a nurse, I worked in a level one trauma center as an emergency room nurse for ten years. Then continued my education at South University, where I obtained my Family Nurse Practitioner. Before joining Impact, I worked at Wake County Health Department providing care mostly in women’s health and obstetrics.

I am thrilled to use my skills and emergency medicine experience to bring quality health care to this area. In my downtime, I enjoy playing with my two handsome boys and traveling as much as possible.
