My name is Felicia, and I’m currently studying in the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program at Texas State University. I have recently moved to San Antonio, TX from Pittsburgh, PA, and it has been a huge transition! I’ve really enjoyed exploring the culture down here, which is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.
I originally received a B.S. of Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh, and began working at a psychiatric facility right near campus. I fell in love with my position as a Milieu Therapist and the acuity of my pediatric patients, and decided to switch gears and go to nursing school. I received my B.S. of Nursing in 2017, and have worked in pediatrics ever since. I have both psychiatric and medical experience, consistently working with children.
After becoming a PMHNP, I would love the opportunity to work in a partial hospitalization program, or some pediatric outpatient setting. In the future, I aspire to become dual-certified as a pediatric primary care nurse practitioner, in order to appropriately provide physical and mental health treatment to pediatric patients in a convenient setting.
When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy traveling, reading, baking, and spending time with my friends and family. While I’ve primarily traveled in the United States, I would love the opportunity to visit Europe.
