I began my career with LifeNet in 2001 at the age of 18 as a dispatcher and went on to graduate from paramedic school in 2004. While building hands-on experience in EMS, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare Administration in 2013 and a Master’s Degree in Education in 2017.
In my current role as Community Health Coordinator, I lead community-based healthcare initiatives focused on improving access to care, strengthening care coordination, and reducing unnecessary emergency department utilization to help patients remain safely at home.
Alongside my work in EMS, I spent 10 years teaching high school while maintaining a part-time role in EMS, allowing me to blend frontline clinical experience with education and mentorship—an approach that continues to shape my commitment to patient-centered care and professional development.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our very active twin boys, traveling—or embracing a not-so-quiet weekend at home. I have officiated high school football since 2011 and have been selected for multiple playoff games, including two state semifinals and a state championship at AT&T Stadium in 2023.
Fun fact: I’ve attended over 500 concerts and been on 16 cruises.
