PREMIER PEDIATRICS - Key Persons
Biography
Destiny earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Kent State University. She began her nursing career in acute care pediatrics as a float nurse where she was able to care for children of all ages with acute and chronic health disparities. She frequently was needed in the NICU and loved spending time caring for all the premature infants. She then went on to gain primary nursing care experience with the goal of becoming a primary care nurse practitioner. She graduated from Maryville University with her Master of Science in Nursing degree with a concentration in Pediatric Primary Care, after which she started practicing as an APRN in a private pediatric primary care clinic.
She chose to leave primary care to gain more medical knowledge in a specialty and went to work at UF Health Shands in their Pediatric Rheumatology & Immunology clinic where she had clinical interests in Juvenile Idiophathic Arthritis, Systematic Lupus Erythematous, Immunodeficieneces, Autoimmune Ecephalitis, and other chronic illnesses. Missing the day-to-day care provided in the pediatric primary care setting, she made the decision to return to where she can have a significant impact on the preventative care while providing parental support with a goal of keeping children healthy and safe as they grow.
She is passionate about providing quality patient experiences through active listening, communication, patient/family education, and care coordination. She also has a passion for educating the future of nursing, so she keeps her hand in teaching classes and clinicals at local universities when she has the availability. In her free time, Destiny enjoys quality time with her husband and four children which includes: sporting events her children participate in, supporting local college/university athletics, traveling, or taking a lazy day at the beach.
