As a trauma nurse practitioner, I care for both inpatients and outpatients who are injured. Trauma care is more than just caring for the injury — it means taking care of the patient as a whole person and supporting them and their families. This approach is always my main priority, and I am grateful every day for the opportunity to take care of these patients.

I’ve wanted to take care of children and work in a hospital for as long as I can remember. My nursing career allowed me the opportunity to be on the trauma team and care for injured children. I then joined Trauma Services as a nurse practitioner, and it has been such a privilege to care for these patients and their families.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family and friends. I love working on our house, reading and traveling as much as possible!
