Get to Know Shane

I began my pursuit of nursing inspired to gain the knowledge and skills to help others. I’ve always had a passion to help those unable to help themselves and I enjoy developing and cultivating clinician-patient relationships for the long term. I find no greater satisfaction than having a patient return with a smile on their face because I was able to guide them on the journey they took in pursuit of better sleep and wellness.

I partner with patients to improve their overall health by addressing sleep as a foundational part of their wellbeing. I evaluate and diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia, and narcolepsy using current up-to-date guidelines. Together, we collaborate and create individualized treatment plans that may include oral device therapy, CPAP, medications, weight loss, and lifestyle changes. I am passionate about my goal to help patients achieve restorative sleep so they can experience increased energy, higher cognitive function, long-term health, and quality of life.

I obtained my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) as a nurse practitioner from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida in 2017 before going on to obtain my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University in 2020. I am double board certified in Adult-Geriatric Primary Care from both the AANP and ANCC and subspecialize in pulmonary and sleep disorders. I have extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient pulmonary and sleep medicine and now focus on bridging the care gap by bringing specialized clinical sleep medicine services to patients through telemedicine. I have been a nurse practitioner since 2017.
