Carol received her Associate's in Nursing from Lower Columbia College and received her Bachelor's in Nursing from Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) in Portland.

After working her way up to a management position at St. John Medical Center, Carol decided to return to school and get her Master's in Nursing. She attended University of Portland to become a adult registered nurse practitioner (ARNP).

Over the years, Carol has worked in many different environments, which include industrial, clinical, and hospital settings. She also has worked as a nurse practitioner in the Emergency Department at St. John Medical Center.

Carol joined Kirkpatrick Family Care's medical group in 1996. We are elated that she continues to work part time for us after retiring from St. Johns. Carol and her husband Dick live in Kalama. Carol enjoys biking, hiking and traveling.
