Abbi is a board-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner originally from Kansas City who made her way to Austin from Fayetteville, Arkansas, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Arkansas.
Abbi spent the first seven years of her career as a Registered Nurse working with critically ill infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), including Dell Children's NICU at Seton Medical Center Austin. Her time as a NICU nurse sparked her passion for family-centered and developmental care, leading her to pursue her Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Texas at Arlington, specializing in pediatric primary care.
On her path to becoming a pediatric nurse practitioner, Abbi was fortunate to learn from exceptional mentors. She is excited to apply her education and experience to provide evidence-based care to the families she serves. Her primary goal is to empower parents by guiding them through every stage of their child's health and development, ensuring they feel supported and understood.
Abbi and her husband, Jake, live in Austin and adore their community here. In her free time, Abbi enjoys trying new local restaurants, hiking, being on the lake, and making delicious food.
