Nurse Practitioner, MSN, ACNP-BC, AAHIVS
I chose to specialize in Infectious Disease due to my interest in HIV care and prevention, particularly while living and training in regions with high rates of new HIV cases. This passion for making a difference in HIV care led me to pursue a career focused on infectious diseases.
At DAP Health, I found a community-focused organization renowned for its excellence in HIV care and prevention. Recognizing the opportunity to contribute to meaningful change within the community, I was drawn to DAP Health as a place where I could truly make a difference.
With an impressive 37 years of experience in health care, I have spent the past 12 years as an Infectious Disease nurse practitioner, dedicating the last six years to serving patients at DAP Health.
