She began her career as a Registered Nurse working in Labor and Delivery, worked in the mother/baby unit and in the nursery unit at Medical City Dallas Hospital. Kala then started working at Presbyterian Hospital of Allen from 2004-2007 where she served as charge nurse in Labor and Delivery. Being able to witness the continual onset of life was a very fulfilling experience for Kala, one she will cherish forever.    Kala earned her Master of Science Degree (MS) as a Women’s Health Certified Nurse Practitioner (WHCNP) from Texas Woman’s University in 2007. She graduated with a 4.0 GPA and was a member of the International Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau. She received her clinical hours working at Planned Parenthood, Parkland Gynecological Clinic, and multiple OB/Gyn doctors’ offices.    Kala then worked as a Women's Health Nurse Practioner at Texas Medical and Surgical Associates followed by Glen Lakes Ob/Gyn from 2007 to 2013.

She has sponsored numerous people through the process and is always willing share her story.    Kala comments on one of the main reasons she decided to pursue her own practice: “I always felt restricted in taking care of my patients. I did not feel 15 minutes was enough time to fully listen and evaluate patient concerns. I felt traditional medicine concentrated more on “fixing” the symptoms instead of taking care of the underlying problem. Personally, I have battled several health issues; PCOS and low thyroid being just a few. I felt frustrated with a short 15 minute visit, being shuffled from one doctor to the next, and feeling like I wasn’t being heard. I wanted to figure out a way to change this for the patients I treat.

Even if we don't like it or are struggling to find it, God has a plan for us all no matter the circumstances.
