Background

Mrs. Gossett has developed a diverse background in nursing since joining the profession in 2012, working in healthcare systems in California and around the country as a travel nurse while experiencing life in an RV. She has worked in facilities throughout South Carolina, too, including Columbia, Orangeburg, Greenville and Charleston.

She has worked in the Lowcountry since 2021, taking on nursing roles in emergency room settings in Varnville, then urgent care in Beaufort and now family practice on Lady’s Island, which attracted her due to the long-term, personal connections that she will be building with her patients.

Mrs. Gossett and her husband Jonathan, both nurses, enjoy Lowcountry life boating, going on walks and beach days with their son Wesley and two dogs.
