I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Louisville and a practicing Family Nurse Practitioner at the University’s Campus Health Clinic. My clinical and academic roles allow me to bridge evidence-based practice with real-world patient care. During my DNP studies, I completed a QI research project that I am currently preparing for publication. I am passionate about identifying gaps in literature and developing research that informs and improves clinical practice. I plan to continue conducting research that supports innovation in primary care, health promotion, and nursing education. I am open to collaboration and interdisciplinary projects that align with my interests in patient-centered care and academic advancement.
