For 20 years, I have worked as a nurse in the emergency department which has taught me to recognize and treat a wide range of ailments. My desire to continue to help people during their time of need but also to focus more on preventative health led me to become a nurse practitioner. I strive to provide compassionate, quality, timely, and appropriate care to all patients. Conversing and connecting with patients comes naturally to me. I enjoy explaining to patients the steps they should take for optimal lifelong health as well as, the care they need during times of illness or injury.
