From ICU to primary care: "I began my nursing career in 2010 in a skilled nursing facility, then advanced into a nursing role in 2013, working in a surgical/trauma ICU at a level one trauma center. After five years in critical care, I transitioned to endoscopy while earning my doctorate in nursing practice. In 2022, I began practicing in an advanced role in internal medicine, where I’ve spent the past several years caring for patients in a rural North Carolina community and managing both complex chronic conditions and acute illnesses."
Seeing the gap: "In primary care, I witnessed the downstream effects of missed or poorly managed midlife care in women. The level of chronic disease and frailty—especially in older women—was striking. As I learned more about the gaps in care and Midi’s mission to address them, I felt strongly called to be part of the solution."
A turning point: "I cared for a woman in her thirties with debilitating fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and low libido. After extensive testing ruled out autoimmune disease, a deeper look at her history revealed a prior hysterectomy with unclear ovarian status. Connecting her to Midi led to the right diagnosis and treatment—and seeing her thrive reinforced how life-changing this care can be."
Care that connects: "My approach is grounded in safe, patient-centered, evidence-based care that looks at the whole person. I prioritize building trust and creating space for patients to feel heard, knowing that strong relationships are the foundation for better outcomes."
