Objective
To provide excellent healthcare to diverse patient populations in primary care, urgent care and or emergency care settings. I have vast experience being a healthcare provider, especially working with people from all walks of life, nationality, ethnicity, age, gender, socioeconomic and education levels. I was an emergency room nurse for over thirty years and now am a practicing nurse practitioner in urgent care. I bring a lifetime of professional and personal experiences that add to my ability to provide excellent patient care. I offer great enthusiasm; a strong work ethic/knowledge base, a high energy level and most importantly compassionate care.
