I graduated from VanderbiIt University in the specialty of neonatal nurse practitioner more than 17 years ago. I am a nurse practitioner in the Division of Neonatology. My patients and their families can rely on me to be a strong advocate for them and to provide the best care possible.

I’ve always enjoyed working with children. I loved being a registered nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), but I wanted to take it to the next level. I became a nurse practitioner so I could participate more deeply with patient care. In my practice, I’m very empathetic and nonjudgmental when working with patients and families.

I enjoy spending my free time with my family, traveling, doing crafts/sewing and skiing.
