I am a certified nurse midwife (CNM) specializing in adolescent gynecology. I see patients in the clinic and at the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute, where I specialize in survivorship care and hormone replacement therapy for survivorship patients. Everyone deserves a safe and welcoming environment to discuss their healthcare concerns. I work diligently to help others feel comfortable during times of vulnerability. I also strive to educate and empower them to ensure they are informed and engaged during their healthcare journey. I provide medical expertise and support with compassion and understanding, offering the same care I expect my family to receive. I want every patient to have access to the resources and care necessary to thrive.
At the heart of my professional career is a deep passion for helping others. I began my career as a labor and delivery nurse, which ignited my passion for women's health. I decided to obtain advanced training at the University of Cincinnati to become an advanced practice nurse working as a CNM. This helped to highlight the importance of care during the most transformative and vulnerable moments in life. Witnessing the strength and resilience of women during childbirth was a unique and empowering experience. I also cared for women at all stages of their reproductive life, from adolescence to menopause. I quickly discovered my passion for the adolescent population. Specialized care for teens and young adults is critical as they transition from pediatric to adult health. It’s gratifying to support these patients as they navigate their health during these formative years.
I enjoy spending my free time with my husband, our five kids and our labradoodle. I also love to run and read.
