    Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government

    Is Competent
    I am a Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in both primary and acute care settings. I am board certified as a Family Practitioner as well as Adult-Gerontology Acute Care specialization. I realized that to provide whole person and root cause patient care, I would need ongoing education and pursued functional medicine board certification. I am pursuing a doctorate in lifestyle medicine which further strengthens my approach to comprehensive, whole person focused care.

    Is Honest
    Honesty is at the core of my practice. I believe that building trust through honesty and clear communication is essential for effective care, allowing patients to make informed decisions and fully engage in their health journey.

    Is Respectful
    I strive to create a respectful environment in every interaction, honoring each patient’s unique background, values, and experiences. I listen actively and treat every individual with empathy and understanding, recognizing that respect is fundamental to a therapeutic relationship and crucial for fostering patient engagement and satisfaction.

    Has Integrity
    I am deeply committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in my practice and represent the example my Veteran father demonstrated. My dedication to continuous education and evidence-based care reflects my integrity, as I seek to offer my patients the best possible solutions for their health. I take accountability seriously and prioritize doing what is right for my patients, even if it means having difficult conversations or advocating for alternative treatment pathways that align with their best interests.

    Has Courage
    As a healthcare provider, I understand the importance of courage in advocating for my patients, embracing new medical approaches, and pursuing ongoing education. My commitment to functional and lifestyle medicine demonstrates my courage to step beyond traditional care models and explore innovative, holistic methods for restoring health. I am unafraid to challenge conventional approaches if it means improving outcomes for my patients.

    Has a Proven Record
    I have a strong record of success in various healthcare settings, from family practice to acute care, and I am dedicated to excellence in patient outcomes. My additional training in functional and lifestyle medicine highlights my commitment to professional growth and quality care. I am proud to have positively impacted the lives of numerous patients by guiding them toward foundational health practices and personalized care that supports lasting wellness.
