Join us in welcoming Shelly Budde, MSN, FNP-C to Imaging Associates! Shelly Budde (pronounced “Buddy”) brings 27 years of experience in intensive care and emergency medicine as an RN, including flight nursing in Afghanistan, while in the United States Air Force. She earned her BSN at Eastern Kentucky University in 1997 then continued her educational training through Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri, earning her master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2018,, graduating with Sigma Theta Tau Honors.
She wants to empower women to make informed decisions about their treatment, understanding these difficulties, as she went through her own personal journey with breast cancer treatment in 2024.
When Shelly isn’t practicing medicine, she enjoys spending time with her husband, four children and foster children. She is often found exploring Alaska, running, hiking and camping. In the winter she enjoys a toasty fire, warm coffee, and spending time with friends and family!
