The best part about being a Nurse Practitioner is the joy I’ve found in doing life with patients and their advocates! It’s my hope to be an unwavering partner in their care while empowering them to reach optimal health and wellness.
Kristy is a certified Family Nurse Practitioner who joins Dr. Kate Wheeler in Laureate Medical Group’s Midtown and Jonesboro locations. She is a Georgia native who initially obtained her undergraduate degree in business management and finance, but quickly realized her love for people significantly outweighed her desire to get lost in excel sheets! Kristy obtained her undergraduate degree in nursing from Clayton State University and served as an RN for more than 8 years in various ICU and Endoscopy settings. She has a passion for endocrinology which developed while helping her dad come to terms with his long-standing diagnosis of diabetes. Because of her dad’s positive outcomes and amazing partnership with his provider, she began to see the details of her calling in life which led her to obtain her master’s in nursing from Valdosta State University. Kristy has always had a heart for community and serving. She is an active member of her church and local health initiative advisory board where she resides. When she's not serving others, Kristy can be found hanging out with her husband, dog, family, and friends!
