After earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL) in 2008, I began my career as a Registered Nurse in women’s health by caring for patients through labor and delivery, postpartum recovery, and post-operative gynecologic care. At that time, women’s health was centered around these stages, and I discovered I was already deeply motivated to support women in any way I could, guided by standardized nursing practices.

To further my education, I returned to ULL to pursue my Master of Science in Nursing to become a Family Nurse Practitioner and graduated in 2013. While completing my graduate studies, I worked part-time as an educator, leading maternity clinical rotations for undergraduate nursing students in local hospitals. Through this experience, I discovered a passion for teaching and the art of translating complex concepts into meaningful, real-life applications tailored to each student’s perspective. As I transitioned into my role as a Nurse Practitioner, eagerness to educate became a core part of my approach, shaping how I diagnose, treat, and guide my patients.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I first began practicing in Endocrinology which is the study of hormones. I quickly realized that the more clearly I could explain how the body functions, why symptoms arise, and how interventions affect hormonal networks, the more effective I became as a provider. However, I encountered critical gaps in traditional hormone care, particularly surrounding reproductive hormones in women. Seeking to broaden my perspective, I transitioned to a breast surgery clinic, collaborating with a breast cancer surgeon where I managed post-operative care, conducted genetic testing, and led both a cancer survivorship program and a high-risk breast cancer program. This experience deepened my interest in the interconnectedness of hormone systems and the difference between surviving and thriving when it comes to health.

In 2022, following my own health and hormone challenges, I stepped away from conventional medical practice to pursue a more root-cause-driven path. I expanded my training in functional medicine and bioidentical hormone therapies, though I often struggled to find environments that aligned with what I was learning. Through a willingness to unlearn and relearn, I began developing my own methods guided by the belief: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

Over the years, I have developed personalized approaches to hormone and nutrient management to prevent and reverse disease, improve quality of life, reduce cancer risks, and restore a sense of well-being. Advancing precision hormone care requires open-minded exploration and a commitment to understanding the evolving science of hormone health. Listening to my patients and learning from their unique journeys has taught me more than any textbook, helping me identify patterns and refine my approach.

My mission is to redefine hormone health, simplify the complexities of hormone integrity and metabolism, and provide individualized care that empowers people to live free from debilitating symptoms and prevent health decline through every stage of life. I honor the path that brought me here and remain thankful for this ongoing journey to learn, adapt, and discover ways to do better.
