P R O F I L E
I have been involved in emergency medical
care for over 15 years, and am able to adapt to
any situation calmly and efficiently. As a
nurse practitioner I understand every person
is unique, and everyone has the right to make
their own choices regarding their health. My
goal as a nurse practitioner is to provide
compassionate, competent, up-to-date
evidence based knowledge to all patients. I
will advocate, educate, and work with
patients to help them make the best medical
decisions for their situation.
