About
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." - Mahatma Gandhi
I'm an adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner practicing in hospital medicine, with clinical interests in cardiology, acute care for adult and geriatric patients. I am also a board-certified vascular access specialist.
My love for health care was inspired and grew because of moments in nursing when patients needed clearer explanations, stronger continuity of care or earlier intervention. I wanted the training and responsibility not only to understand the "why" behind medical decisions, but also to be directly accountable for the.
Each stage of my education and clinical training reinforced my passion for critical thinking, accountability and lifelong learning.
Philosophy of Care
My philosophy of care is grounded in accountable, evidence-based practice that respects patient dignity and supports informed decision-making. I prioritize clear, honest communication and focus on safety, quality of life and the best possible outcomes - especially for vulnerable and aging populations.
Favorite Parts of Medicine
Taking the time to fully understand each patient's clinical situation
Making thoughtful, evidence-based treatment decisions
Following patients over time and seeing how care decisions improve outcomes
Hobbies
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, exercising and spending time outdoors playing with my dogs.
