As a nurse practitioner (NP) in the Division of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, I take a holistic approach to care. I consider the child, family and socio-economic conditions when treating my patients.

After working as a bedside registered nurse (RN) for several years, clinicians I worked with encouraged me to become a provider. During my pediatric rotation in nursing school, I was inspired to work with children. I realized I enjoyed caring for the pediatric population and communicating and working with the family unit as a whole.

When I’m not working, I like to spend time with friends and family, try new restaurants, watch movies and exercise.
