Mercy After Hours Clinic

While working as a bedside nurse for six years, I prayed for my patients. I think going further into my education and becoming a nurse practitioner made be able to develop long lasting relationships with my patients rather than ending at my shift. Any time you can have a hand in taking care of a vulnerable population it just puts you that much closer to your calling.

I feel like the Lord called me to medicine to serve people. I love medicine because it can be a great tool for change. I love people and I love to help care for their mental, spiritual and physical health care needs.

What motivates me is wanting to do my best. I'm a very type A person. I want to give the best treatment I can, whether that's involving other people in their care, or just listening to the patient. The most gratifying part of practicing medicine is seeing the smile on people's faces and them being happy about the care that they've received.
