Kristen earned her BSN from the University of South Carolina and began her career as a Navy nurse. During her time in the Navy, she gained diverse experiences including a deployment to Iraq. After leaving the Navy, Kristen pursued a career as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. She later completed her MSN at East Carolina University and in 2012, obtained her Family Nurse Practitioner certification. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she witnessed the growing need for mental health providers as her patients faced long wait times for mental health care. Motivated by this, Kristen pursued further training at Frontier Nursing University and achieved certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. She is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for her patients, addressing their physical, mental, and emotional needs. Kristen is enthusiastic about joining the team at Premier Wellness Healthcare to offer medication management services and therapeutic modalities.
