She has two dogs, Smoke and Dixie and helps her husband Paul with cattle on the weekends. She went to the University of Tennessee for her Bachelor’s in Nursing and then went to Arkansas State University for her Master of Science in Nursing and also for her Doctor of Nursing Practice. She loves medicine because she enjoys the interaction between her and her patients and their families. Her focus in primary care is diabetic education and pediatrics. She is especially focused on diabetic education because her oldest son and father-in-law both have Type 1 diabetes. Her favorite way to relax from work is going on walks with her husband and dogs and going to the lake or pool. Her favorite vacation was going to California with her daughter and seeing the Pacific Ocean.
