As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I strive to form a connection with individuals to understand their experiences, their values, and the key factors driving their health.

My practice is largely influenced by my decade-long experience as an RN where I worked in both an acute inpatient and home health care setting. Each employment opportunity provided me with valuable insight into the many facets of healthcare, including the barriers of self-managing acute and chronic illnesses. 

When pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, I took the opportunity to delve deeper into these barriers with a primary focus on social determinants of health. I have incorporated this knowledge into a holistic lens that expands my ability to partner with patients and guide them towards optimal health and wellness.
