As a doctorate-prepared nurse practitioner, my background spans emergency medicine, women’s health, and preventive disease management. My passion for helping others led me to earn my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. My commitment to women’s health deepened during my time as a forensic nurse, where I helped survivors reclaim their power and take back control of their lives. But it wasn’t until I faced my own health struggles that my mission became personal. I felt like my body was betraying me—waking up drenched in sweat, battling brain fog, gaining weight, and experiencing an exhaustion that no amount of rest could fix. Desperate for answers, I turned to healthcare professionals, only to be dismissed. “It’s just stress,” they said. “Maybe anxiety.” But I knew there was more. Determined to understand what was happening, I dove into research and uncovered what my medical training had barely touched on: I was in perimenopause. That moment changed everything. I founded Nova Vida Wellness to ensure women are heard, supported, and empowered with the knowledge and care they deserve—because no one should have to navigate this journey alone.
