I have been practicing as a Nephrology Nurse Practitioner in Mississippi for 20 years. I am an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner trained at The University of Mississippi with a Nephrology specialty education via Vanderbilt University. I am certified as a Nephrology Nurse Practitioner and earned my Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the University of South Alabama in 2010. I spent 3 years in private Nephrology practice treating dialysis and CKD patients. In 2006, I joined the faculty of the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). At UMMC my clinical practice is general Nephrology. My primary clinical focus is acute and chronic renal replacement therapies. I see patients weekly in general Nephrology clinic. I teach locally and nationally, and support the research efforts of the Division of Nephrology.
