About Me
Ms. Penner initially graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a B.S. in psychology and a minor in Hispanic Studies in 2019. She returned to UNC and graduated from their Accelerated BSN program in 2021. She began her nursing career at Behavioral Health Charlotte in the emergency department and has worked there since. In 2024, she completed her Master of Science in Nursing in the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner track. As a newly board-certified PMHNP, she looks forward to transitioning into both fields of advanced practice and nursing education, where she hopes to support the next generation of healthcare professionals while caring for patients.
Outside of her professional life, Ms. Penner enjoys spending time with her soon-to-be husband, family, friends, and her two cats—Coco and Mia. She also enjoys traveling and watching suspense/mystery television.
