About

I am a born and raised Braintree Resident.  I attended Braintree Public Schools through eighth grade and then attended Archbishop Williams High School. Upon graduating high school, I was accepted into the St. Anselm’s Nursing Program in Manchester, New  Hampshire where I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing.

After passing my nursing boards and earning my Commonwealth of Massachusetts Nursing License, I began working in the Suffolk County House of Correction as a Registered Nurse.  In that position, I learned firsthand about mental illness and substance use disorder.  I continued my nursing career as a Registered Nurse at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Thoracic Surgery Unit in Boston.  Through these positions, I learned how critical it is to address underlying conditions suffered by individuals.  In order to specialize in this area, I went back to school and earned by Nurse Practitioner’s Degree from the University of Massachusetts at Boston in Family Medicine. I completed my certification through the AANP in Family Medicine.  I worked as a Neurosurgery Nurse Practitioner at Children's Hospital, Boston for 7 years before deciding to work closer to home to raise my two children. Despite being a busy working mom, I went back to school again and earned a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. I completed my certification through the ANCC.  in Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
