Biography
Ever since Priscilla made the decision to enroll in nursing school, she knew that her passion lay in working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). After spending her first year as a new graduate nurse on the Mother-Baby Unit, she finally secured a position in the NICU, and she has been loving every minute of it. If you ask her, she will tell you wholeheartedly that she loves what she does and cannot imagine working with any other patient population.
Before becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP), Priscilla dedicated 8 years to the NICU at Inova Children’s Hospital. During this time, she gained extensive experience as a bedside nurse, charge nurse, PICC nurse, and transport nurse. Now, she is over-the-moon excited to fulfill her dream as an NNP, working alongside an amazing team at FNA.
In her free time, Priscilla enjoys traveling the world with her husband and daughter. She often tells people that she travels to experience the various and delicious cuisines that every culture has to offer!
