Our Staff at BrightStar Care® Fredericksburg

I bring a diverse background to the role of Director of Nursing. I am a US Army Nurse Corps veteran, I hold a Master’s degree in Nursing and a Master's degree in Education in Leadership and hold several certifications as a Certified Worksite Wellness Specialist and Certified Wellness Practitioner, as well as a Certificate in Health Care Ethics. My passions are education, health, and wellness.  I enjoy kayaking, hiking, travel, working out, cooking, and my friends & family. My core values are faith, teamwork, collaboration, lifestyle wellness, and education.

I have worked in health care for over 24 years in a variety of environments including Nursing Facilities, Hospitals, and Home Care. I left my prior employment as a Care Manager to help take care of my Mother-in-Law. However, I did miss the field I work in and wanted to reengage with the working world. I love caring for the elderly community and have volunteered with multiple organizations to help and assist our elderly community. I have a passion for building and developing relationships with people.
