I've been a pediatric nurse practitioner for 11 years. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Texas Christian University in 2007 and began my career as an RN at Cook Children's. In 2012, I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Texas at Arlington and started working as a nurse practitioner in urgent care. I've spent much of my career practicing in the Mansfield area and recently joined the team at Cook Children's Pediatrics in Mansfield full time after working PRN for the past five years.
Outside of work, I have a passion for mission work and have traveled the world providing medical care, including in Central America and Cambodia, where I spent a month in 2023. I also love teaching and have served as a preceptor for nurse practitioner students for the past eight years.
I feel called to this work and believe my faith in Jesus guides me every day. It's an honor to care for children and their families and I wouldn't want to do anything else.
I have an amazing family and love spending time with my niece and nephew. I also enjoy being involved with my church community, including volunteering in the nursery. In my free time, I like bike riding, 3D printing and reading.

Heather was absolutely AMAZING. This was our first visit with her and this has been the BEST visit I have ever had since bringing my child here. She was so tentative and made sure my child's breathing was better before we left. She was so patient and concerned. I absolutely appreciate that and I am great full for her. Going forward I will only book with her!
