I am an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) specializing in primary and school-based health care. I like to get to know my patients and their families. Working as a team, I help empower them to make positive changes to create healthier families and children.
My interest in this work is influenced by having four children of my own. I have worked in healthcare for over 20 years in many roles, including in the military, labor and delivery and pediatric urgent care. These experiences help me understand the challenges of parenting. I like pediatrics because I can teach children about their health and hopefully help positively impact their future health and prevent problems down the road.
When I am not at work, I love being outdoors. I enjoy landscaping and hiking with my family.
