I consider ceramic art and advanced practice nursing to be complimentary, and I actively engage in both professions. In my career as a nurse practitioner, I’ve found that creative pursuits help recharge my spirit and keep me grounded, allowing me to be more present in each moment. My chosen creative pursuit is ceramic art. 

I spend time making ceramics in my home studio, which is always evolving and expanding. I have training in fine art and ceramics from Vanderbilt University, and while much of my ceramics experience is self-directed, I also completed art courses alongside health classes during my studies. The patience and attention to detail required in ceramics have enhanced my ability to provide care for my patients.
