What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?
I would like my patients to know that I am compassionate. There is high importance of patient education as well as the inclusion of family and patient in all of their care plan decisions.
What inspired you to become a provider?
I became a nurse 30 years ago and chose pediatrics as my specialty. Seven years later, I obtained my master's as a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I wanted to be able to diagnose and treat my patients independently while putting emphasis on patient education. I chose to pursue my own education and career in the medical field based on the nursing approach to medicine.
