From there she furthered her medical expertise, completing her Masters in Adult Gerontology at Maryville University in St. Louis. She is certified by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).

Julie’s personal philosophy of care centers upon providing compassionate care with a holistic approach to improve patient wellbeing and health. She feels that a patient-provider relationship is essential in practice.

She worked in Primary Care at Southcoast Health as a nurse practitioner prior to specializing in breast health.
