About
Philosophy of care
I always strive to do my best and treat not only the patient, but realize the whole family is involved when an infant is ill or under my care. Every patient and family deserves respect and dignity along with great medical care. I am an honest, hard-working mom who lives life to the fullest and who has a contagious positive attitude.
Why I entered medicine
I was a neonatal nurse for 16 years and decided I wanted a role with more responsibility in the same field, so I went back to school to be a neonatal nurse practitioner.
Personal interests
I like to garden, hike, fish and spend time with my family and friends.
