I am a nurse practitioner specializing in general and colorectal surgery. Working within a highly regarded surgical department at such an esteemed facility is an honor.

Since deciding to become a nurse, pediatrics is where I envisioned my career. In my senior year of nursing school, I had the opportunity to co-op at Cincinnati Children's and this experience solidified my passion for caring for the smallest of patients. I spent six years as an inpatient gastrointestinal and colorectal bedside nurse, which led me to continue my education and become a nurse practitioner.

Being surrounded by compassionate coworkers who strive to make a difference makes my job feel like a calling, not work. Caring for resilient children, watching them overcome obstacles and supporting parents during their challenges and sacrifices fuels my drive to provide the best possible family-centered care.

When I'm not working, you can find me cheering on the Bearcats, playing soccer or attempting to finish a puzzle.
