Sandra Lynn Vaughn grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee and was inspired at a young age to be in a medical field to help others, as her mother was frequently ill when Vaughn was a child. After growing up playing doctor on her dolls and siblings, Vaughn worked as a registered nurse for 11 years until she eventually acquired her Masters from KSU and was certified with AANP and began practicing at DAK in April of 2007. Vaughn is married with an eleven-year-old daughter and a 16-year-old lab. Her hobbies include making jewelry, crafts, scrapbooking, and jogging.
