Each of these individuals has been an exceptional leader at AAENP and in emergency care. Their continued dedication and support of our mission and values have allowed our organization to grow and be successful.
If you are attending the AANP conference, please make sure to stop by the AAENP booth, #533 to congratulate these Directors.
We are also celebrating the launch this month of our updated and redesigned AAENP website which is easier to navigate and includes additional information supporting your practice needs and Academy initiatives. Please take a moment to explore the new design, and be watching for more reasons to celebrate with us in the weeks ahead!
With gratitude,

After 6 years of practice and holding leadership positions and acting as a preceptor to Nurse Practitioner students she relocated to Rhode Island where she currently practices Emergency Medicine as the Lead APP. She continues to precept both Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant students and has been a contributor and lecturer to EMCT. In addition to her professional ENP career, she is also a Paramedic and is working with her local agency to launch RSI protocols and is part of the Mobile Integrated Health team. She supports her local First Responders and her community through lectures and workshops. She is also a Tactical Medicine provider where her focus is on cardiometabolic testing in first responders, primarily law enforcement officers, working to reverse the statistics of premature death and heart disease. Although she resides in Rhode Island she typically splits time between there and New Hampshire where she lives in the White Mountains with her husband and 3-year-old labradoodle who demands constant attention and exercise. In her past time she enjoys being active and healthy as she is an avid runner completing many half marathons and currently working on her first Full Marathon with the goal of completing the IronGirl Triathlon. In addition, she enjoys snowboarding, hiking, snowshoeing, trail running, and XC Nordic Skiing where she is currently in the transition to XC Skate with her eye on competitive Biathlon. When she isn’t on the ‘run’ she can be spotted around the globe traveling with her husband or simply on the couch knitting with a nice hot cuppa!
