After my military service, I continued serving through emergency medicine, healthcare leadership, and nursing education. I held leadership roles at Pacific Lutheran University, including Graduate Program Director and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.

I currently serves as owner, CEO, and medical director of Cossmedic Wellness & Aesthetics and Pacific Northwest Aesthetics Academy, organizations focused on patient‑centered care, healthcare workforce development, provider education, and safe, ethical healthcare practice.

I served as an elected board member for ARNPs United of Washington State before stepping down to serve as a pro‑tem member of the Washington State Board of Nursing.

I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Marymount University, my Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Pacific Lutheran University, my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Eastern Washington University, and my Associate Degree from Spokane Falls Community College.

I am board‑certified as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Emergency Nurse Practitioner and am a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, Academy of Emergency Nursing, and Academy of Wilderness Medicine.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to serving veterans, military families, students, healthcare professionals, and working families throughout Washington State.
