My journey in women’s health: "I became a nurse in 2002 and continued my education to become a nurse practitioner in 2006, allowing me to expand the ways I could support women throughout their healthcare journeys. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for patients with a wide range of needs, helping them navigate everything from preventive care and reproductive health to the physical and emotional changes that come with midlife. Supporting women through these important transitions has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding aspects of my career, and it continues to inspire the work I do every day."

Advocacy matters: "Over the years, I’ve had many patients who’ve faced tough challenges, but one woman’s story has stayed with me. She had a family history of breast cancer, and despite her need for a breast MRI, her insurance kept denying it. I advocated for her, and because we persisted, her cancer was caught early. Even years later, after I moved out of state, she reached out with a thank you, and I’ll never forget that connection."

Centering women's strength: "I see myself as a teammate in my patients’ lives. I listen, I advocate, and I remind them that, as the center of their families, their health is foundational. When they prioritize themselves, they rediscover their own strength and identity, allowing them to live as their fullest, most vibrant selves—and from that place, they’re able to show up more fully for the people they love."
