After years of experience as a nurse, where my passion for patient care grew considerably, my desire to advance my education became apparent. I became a nurse practitioner so that I could expand my influence as a provider who has more direct involvement in patient outcomes and an increased responsibility for patient care. Becoming a nurse practitioner was the perfect avenue for me to continue with my passion for nursing but with the increased autonomy necessary to have a more direct and positive impact on the lives of others and a greater influence within the healthcare field. I believe in a holistic approach to patient care with consideration of a person’s well-being in its entirety, focusing especially on wellness promotion to improve health and prevent illness through self-care and lifestyle modifications. I enjoy getting to know my patients personally in order to provide the most individualized care possible, and I believe that it is important to take time to listen thoughtfully to a patient’s needs and concerns. I also believe that trust and mutual respect are the fundamental foundation for the provider-patient relationship, and I strive to foster that rapport with each one of my patients. My areas of clinical interest include preventive care/health promotion, health and nutrition counseling, and geriatric care.
