My grandfather inspired me to pursue a career in health care, and I’ve known since elementary school that I wanted to be a nurse. With over 23 years of experience as a nurse practitioner, I specialize in general gynecology, urogynecology, contraception, abnormal menstrual bleeding, abnormal pap management and colposcopy, PCOS and menopause. I find it incredibly rewarding to meet new people and involve them in shared decision-making about their health care plans.Outside of work, nature is my happy place. I love spending time outdoors with my three young adult children and our dog, Winston. Together, we enjoy hiking, biking, traveling, playing pickleball, cooking and thrifting.
