About

I didn't always know I wanted to be in the medical field, as others may have. But once I found it, I couldn't see myself anywhere else. I love helping my patients feel better and being part of their healthcare journeys. \n My approach to healthcare is collaborative. I like to see my patients involved in their care and in the decision-making around it. I believe the patient knows best is a true statement. Their input should always be part of the plan. \n Collaborating with my colleagues is an important part of the way I practice medicine. If I don't know the answer to something or want a second opinion, I will not hesitate to ask or research further. I want the patient to receive the best care possible, and that may mean involving other clinicians. \n I enjoy being involved in my field. I'm board-certified through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and currently teach two university courses to nursing students studying for their master's in nursing. \n I am the mother of two girls, and they are my biggest passion in life. I'm married, and my husband is a fire chief. I enjoy running my girls around to their activities; both are involved in swimming and dancing. A simple passion of mine is just to have fun and make others smile. Laughter truly is the best medicine!
