Hello!

I’ve been in nursing for over 11 years,  providing care across many different areas including ER, travel  medicine, college health, and critical care. I began my nurse  practitioner career in primary and urgent  care. Most recently I have been providing wound care services and  health risk assessments. 
 

In my spare time I enjoy traveling with my family, reading, and watching movies. 
 

The best thing about this profession is helping patients get well and succeed.

She is passionate about helping her patients achieve their highest quality of life through symptom control to include management of pain, improved sleep, fluid retention, agitation, and more.  

As a provider her goals are to help her patients achieve their utmost comfort by maximizing patients’ functioning and independence to allow for her patients to spend time doing things they love.

After  receiving her Master’s degree, she left the ICU after  6 years and began her career as a nurse practitioner at a private  cardiology practice. In this setting, she effectively diagnosed and  managed patients with various cardiac diagnoses. She independently  treated patients and provided general cardiology care and  episodic care while also taking on a role as an electrophysiology nurse  practitioner allowing her to expand her knowledge in treating patients  with arrythmias and cardiac devices.

With five years of experience in the medical field as a Certified Medical Assistant and four years in healthcare administration, I am passionate about creating a supportive and compassionate experience for every patient who walks through the door. 

My background allows me to understand both the clinical and  administrative sides of healthcare, helping ensure that care is not only efficient but truly patient-centered.


The most meaningful part of my work is building genuine connections with patients and guiding them through their healthcare journey with empathy, clarity, and reassurance. I believe that trust, communication, and kindness make all the difference in a patient’s experience.


Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending quality time with my family, and taking motorcycle rides to relax and recharge.
