I am a nurse practitioner in the Pre-Anesthetic Consultation Clinic (PACC). My goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered, quality care that prioritizes effective communication and collaboration. We are all members of the same team, working toward the same goal to achieve the best outcome for everyone involved. I always want patients and families to feel comfortable asking questions and taking as much time as they need to understand our plan of care.

My experiences as a patient have significantly impacted how I interact with and treat patients. From a young age, I adopted a role as a caregiver that has carried over into my adult life. Working with kids brings such a fresh perspective, as their resiliency and desire to "just be kids" despite whatever circumstances they are facing never cease to amaze me.

When not working, I love to bake, read and spend time outdoors with family, friends and animals.
