General Info

I began my nursing career providing short-term, crisis care to patients in the Emergency Department. I decided to pursue an advanced degree and become a Family Nurse Practitioner to be a more integral part of the patient’s long-term healthcare; educating and partnering with them to ensure the highest possible level of care and well-being. My areas of interest include preventive care and providing care to military personnel, veterans and their family. My philosophy of care is to provide patient-centered, high-quality and cost-effective medical care while advocating for health promotion, disease prevention and early intervention for healthy patients. When I am not working, I enjoy hiking, reading, watching movies, and spending time outside with my husband and two Belgian Malinois dogs, Stella and Gunner.
