Biography
I am currently a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a Master's degree from the University of Cincinnati. I have 3.5 years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner at a rural private practice. My approach to patients is more holistic and natural when able. I give patients the autonomy they deserve and look at them as a whole picture and less of a Bandaid fix. My strengths are often pediatrics, women's health, and mental health. I worked for Memorial Gables on a skilled/rehabilitation unit. I cared for patients needing skilled care/rehabilitation.
