About Me

Caring for others has been my life’s mission, it is who I am. As a child all I ever wanted to be was a nurse, and I never strayed from that desire. In between my junior and senior year in high school I became a CNA, then after graduating I became a LPN then an RN and now a Nurse Practitioner. Making lasting relationships with those who allow me to care for them matters to me. I want patients to know I care, I am here for them and that they are very important to me.

I have spent the last 30 years in healthcare with 20 of those caring for oncology patients and their families. It is my honor and privilege to be allowed on someone’s life journey as a caregiver. Know that when I join your healthcare team I will listen to you and respect your wishes. I will do everything I can to make your journey be what you want it to be. I am passionate about providing the best possible care.

I am a lifelong resident of the area, living in Ursa my entire life. I raised my four children here and I am dedicated to the community and who we are.
