Lexington, Kentucky, United States
I have 34 years of diverse experience in healthcare, my career began in critical care/cardiology in 1990. I went back to school in 2003 for my Master's Degree. After completing the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program in 2007 I began working at Cumberland Valley Urology. This is where I discovered my passion for hormone replacement therapy, after attending Dr Eldred Taylor’s conference in Atlanta, GA in 2008. This started my journey on learning about hormone replacement and one that I will always continue for my own wellness and that of others. I started my career working with cancer patients in the urology department at the University of Kentucky in 2013. In 2016 I transferred to the inpatient side and began working with the Hematology/Bone Marrow Transplant Team and where I am still full time employed. Over the past several years I continue to attend educational offerings on my special interests and obtain other certifications. I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and certified in Dry Needling. My other areas of interest, which I continue to study on my own time include: essential oils, brown’s gas, herbal remedies, frequency medicine, and currently studying HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis).
