Patients and being part of their care, she said, is the best part of her job. “I have experienced firsthand the difficulty of obtaining care within a rural community. I began my career to help aid in bridging the care gap,” she said. “Before choosing this role, I knew I wanted to be part of a ministry that showed compassion and was family oriented in the care provided. I feel this is the path God has led me to take.”She holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from University of the Cumberlands.
