I graduated from Washington State University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. In 2007, I earned a Doctorate in Chiropractic from the University of Western States. In 2013, I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Cincinnati and became a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I went on to serve at the Spokane VA, working in the outpatient clinic as well as with the Healthcare for Homeless Veterans outreach program. Since 2019, I have been actively involved with Washington State University as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry. In 2021, I established a direct care psychiatric clinic to provide accessible, personalized mental health services, and I also provide psychiatric care to the Muckleshoot Tribe through their behavioral health program.
