Sheila’s nursing career began more than 35 years ago as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. She went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Nursing at Emory University with a focus on Midwifery. She has practiced as an Advanced Practice Nurse in this community for more than 25 years, primarily in Family Practice, caring for patients across the lifespan. As a Certified Nurse Midwife, she delivered babies for more than 20 years, and went on to earn a Doctorate Degree in Nursing. Providing care in a Family Practice setting, she had the privilege of caring for growing families. This inspired her to continue her education so as to become certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Beyond patient care, Sheila is a nursing instructor and preceptor. Her love for nursing and learning is a motivation to invest in the education of future nurses and Nurse Practitioners. Her interests include health promotion and maintenance, as well as patient education and patient advocacy – particularly on behalf of the vulnerable and infirm.
Sheila’s family is central to her life. She enjoys spending time with her parents, children, and grandchildren – gardening, picnicking, hiking, and riding bikes. She also enjoys reading, baking, sewing, and knitting.
