I have been a registered nurse for almost 19 years. I obtained my Bachelor of Nursing from University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and a Master of Nursing at Walden University. I have 16 years of phase one clinical research experience. During my research career, I have had the opportunity to be involved in the conduct of many new drugs to help treat mental health disorders. I am a member of American Association of Nurse Practitioners and a member of Sigma Phi Nu. In my spare time my daughter and I enjoy baking.
