Profile
Ms. Sallee grew up in Seward, Alaska, but decided she wanted to raise her children in Fairbanks. She worked as a registered nurse for Gateway to Recovery in Fairbanks while earning her Master of Nursing degree. She sought to further her education and become a family nurse practitioner to help a diverse group of people on a different level. She strives to be a provider that really hears what her patients are saying, and one with whom they are comfortable talking. She never wants a patient to feel rushed or that she is not giving them her full attention. 

Ms. Sallee partners with Dr. Nathaniel Buffington as one of the Family Medicine Shared Care Teams; she loves teamwork, and is excited to work directly with an experienced doctor.      

Interests & Activities
Ms. Sallee is inspired by her children, saying that being a good and strong person for them to look up to has helped her grow and expand her views and ideas; adding that they teach her new things constantly. Spending time with family is at the top of her list of things to do. They enjoy riding snow machines and ATVs, as well as fishing trips to Valdez. She loves living in Fairbanks and describes smoke-free summers as "the best", though she's not super fond of the cold weather and wishes there was more snow here.
