Annette is a 2024 graduate of Florida Gulf Coast University and currently practices as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist at Physicians Regional Medical Center in Naples, Florida.

In her current role, Annette independently performs both peripheral and neuraxial nerve blocks. She is passionate about education and enjoys mentoring others in the use of ultrasound technology—particularly in the safe and effective delivery of regional anesthesia. Annette strongly believes in the importance of multimodal pain management and advocates for opioid-free anesthetic options whenever possible, ensuring her patients receive the most comprehensive and compassionate care available.
