Post-master’s Certificate – PMHNP, University of St. Francis, Joliet, IL
As a dually-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am the director of NP programs in addition to teaching full-time. I graduated from USF in 2020 with a post-master’s PMHNP certificate and in 2025 with a DNP. I have been faculty since January 2023 and have enjoyed sparking my passion for mental health into my students’ hearts.
I am married with three children. I also practice as a PMHNP in Utica, Illinois. I enjoy spending time with my family, shopping and trying out restaurants in the community.
