My approach to care
My care philosophy/approach to care centers on delivering high-quality, compassionate care that supports the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of children at every stage of growth. I am dedicated to a holistic approach that nurtures the whole child while partnering with families to promote lifelong health and well-being.
Why I went into healthcare
I became a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner because I’m inspired by the resilience and potential of kids, and I want to support their health and development from the very beginning. Caring for children allows me to make a meaningful difference in their lives and build trusting relationships with both them and their families.

Something you might not know about me is that I played Division I lacrosse in college, I love to cook/ bake, and I enjoy living an active lifestyle through hiking, yoga, and weight training!
