Career Objective

A women’s health nurse practitioner looking to incorporate evidence-based care to gynecologic and obstetrical patients.

Patient Care Philosophy

Individualized patient care focusing on prevention, wellness, and patient education. Informing patients about their healthcare and encouraging them to participate in decisions are central to the care provided. I believe the concept of health is the absence of disease in addition to the well-being of the person, including a person’s wellness, wholeness and integrity.
