Travel Medicine Specialists

I am a graduate from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville and have worked in a wide variety of nursing specialties. I have held professional certifications in medical surgical nursing, operating room nursing, and as an occupational health nurse specialist / case manager. Over the years, I have called Cincinnati,Ohio, Rockville, Maryland, and south Florida home. I have been back in Knoxville now for over 25 years and am married with 3 sons and 2 sugar gliders. I am an Air Force mom, Army sister, and Navy aunt. I love to travel and have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit a variety of countries. I try to go to the UT football and basketball games with my husband and enjoy reading, playing my harp, and have recently started taking banjo lessons.

I was born and raised in Amarillo, Texas. I completed a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology at Oklahoma State University in 1996. I then decided to go into nursing, and I worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse in the Gynecology unit of the local hospital and also on a Medical/Surgical floor. I worked for three years while completing my Bachelor’s in Nursing at West Texas A&M in 2001. I continued to work in the hospital setting in Labor & Delivery and Emergency care for two more years. I have worked in nursing education for the past several years.

I am from Marion, Ohio, attended Marion Technical College and have been a Registered Nurse since 1989. I was a Labor/Delivery Nurse for 10 years and Public Health Nurse/School Nurse for the last 15 years. I moved to Franklin, TN in February of 2015. Hobbies are my grand-kids.
