I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree from the University of Iowa in 2000. Until now, most of my nursing career has been spent in primary care clinic nursing and school nursing. While a school nurse, I noted a great need for mental health care and a lack of access in my community. The students I served as a school nurse became my “why” for continuing my advanced practice nursing education. After four years of doctoral studies, in August of 2023, I received my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the University of Iowa, where I was dual enrolled in their pediatric primary care and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner programs. Now, as a board-certified psychiatric mental health and pediatric primary care nurse practitioner, my journey has led me to practice pediatric psychiatry, filling the gap in care that was evident years ago.
