I always knew I wanted to work with children and found healthcare to be a good fit. I’m a nurse practitioner who works in Surgical Services at Cincinnati Children’s Liberty Campus.

My care philosophy is based around creating a plan that is best for the patient and family. There is often more than one reasonable way to proceed, which allows the patient and their family to weigh in and play a significant role in their child’s care. I like to make sure they are well informed about my thought process and understand the plan moving forward.

When I’m not helping patients, I love spending time outside with my three children or doing crafts or experiments with them. Our last big project was building a treehouse!
