Melinda is a compassionate Registered Nurse who has been practicing the art of nursing for over 32 years. She is detailed and highly motivated to provide competent patient care. She enjoys getting to know her patients and developing a strong professional rapport with them. She has worked in both hospital and outpatient settings in the areas of orthopedics, neurology, apheresis, and oncology. Melinda believes in the power of preventive medicine to improve patient outcomes. Born in Dallas, Melinda’s family moved to a small copper mining town in Arizona at the age of four. From a very young age she knew she either wanted to be a teacher or a nurse, and when she discovered that nursing entails a lot of patient education, she felt that could satisfy both of her ambitions.

What makes me unique: In my younger years I competed in several bodybuilding competitions and continue to enjoy weight training and exercise in general. I have traveled to over 10 countries and enjoy immersing myself in the culture of each country.

Why do I practice healthcare: Since childhood, I have had a keen interest in healthcare. I enjoy learning new things, patient relationships, and the ever-evolving nature of medicine. I was looking for a new perspective on healthcare administration, and was impressed with Crossover’s vast variety of services provided under one roof. I enjoy the collaborative efforts and camaraderie of our teams.

What makes me unique: I was very lucky to travel extensively when I was younger. Seeing people from all walks of life living so differently from myself (and each other) had a profound impact on me. I am open to looking at things in new ways and always willing to listen.

Why do I practice healthcare: I work in healthcare because I genuinely enjoy helping others, and I wanted a career that would allow me to continue learning over the course of my lifetime. I have been lucky enough to find both these qualities through a career in Chinese medicine.
