"I find joy in creatively tailoring children's health needs to their lifestyle."

My Approach

I’ve always been drawn to health care, particularly nursing, due to its holistic approach to patient care. Progressing in my career, I realized that becoming a nurse practitioner would enable me to provide the highest level of care and form lasting connections with my patients.

I especially love working with children because I am always amazed by their resilience and capacity to learn. I am captivated by the stories that each child comes in with and find joy in creatively tailoring their health needs to their lifestyles. Just as they inspire me, I want to inspire them to get involved and take charge of their own care by providing them with the tools and knowledge for lifelong wellness. 

In working with families, I prioritize open communication and collaboration. Understanding their concerns allows me to tailor care effectively. Given the interconnected nature of gastrointestinal conditions with overall health, I aim to provide comprehensive support to patients and their families, addressing the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of health.
