Finding a gap: "I became a nurse in 2016 and a women’s health nurse practitioner in late 2022. Before joining Midi, I spent three years caring for patients at Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. I was drawn to Midi because, as a woman in midlife myself, I can easily relate to many of the experiences my patients are having. I also believe that care for women in midlife has been underserved for far too long, and I wanted to be part of changing that."

Being there when it matters: "One experience that shaped me early in my career was caring for a woman in her early 60s who came in with significant postmenopausal bleeding. After her biopsy results returned, I had to give her a diagnosis of endometrial cancer—the first cancer diagnosis I had ever delivered. It was a difficult conversation, but it reinforced how important it is to be present, make thoughtful clinical decisions, and help patients move quickly toward the care they need. Even in hard moments, patients deserve compassion, clarity, and support."

Conversation over jargon: "My care philosophy is rooted in empathy. I want every patient to feel heard, understood, and respected. Patients often tell me they appreciate that I talk to them like real people, not medical diagnoses. I prefer conversations over medical jargon and believe listening carefully is one of the most important parts of good care."

You don’t have to live in misery: "When women come to me with symptoms that have been overlooked or dismissed, I start by listening. My goal is to help them feel more like themselves again and create a plan that fits their individual needs. Working at Midi feels especially meaningful because I’m helping my peers, not just strangers. If I could tell every woman entering midlife one thing, it would be this: you don’t have to live in misery. There are answers, and there is help."
