From a young age I knew I wanted to be a nurse. After being a nurse for several years, I realized I wanted to be able to follow through with patients and see the long term outcomes. This is why I decided to become a nurse partitioner. I like being able to build relationships with my patients and helping people make a difference in their lives. I am most passionate about helping patients take control of their own healthcare. The most gratifying part of medicine is seeing the wins with my patients when they have accomplished a difficult goal and I love being able to celebrate with them. As a family medicine provider, I want my patients to know that they will receive personal and individualized care.
