About Me
I have always been passionate about medicine, beginning my journey in high school. Over the years, I progressed through several roles — including CNA, phlebotomist, LPN, RN and now nurse practitioner — and each step strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care.
What I find most rewarding is caring for patients as whole people and empowering them through education to better understand and manage their health. I have developed a strong clinical interest in metabolic health, weight management, nutrition and exercise medicine. I'm passionate about helping patients understand the connection between lifestyle, chronic disease prevention and overall wellness. My goal is to provide evidence-based education and individualized treatment plans that support sustainable, long-term health improvements rather than temporary solutions.
I especially enjoy working with patients to improve conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and other metabolic disorders through a comprehensive approach that includes nutrition, physical activity, behavioral change and medical management when appropriate. I believe patient education and empowerment are essential, and I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel motivated, informed and confident in their health care journey.
Throughout my career, working in multiple health care roles has allowed me to care for patients at different stages of life and health while deepening my appreciation for compassion, communication and patient advocacy. Caring for patients with chronic illness has shown me how education, support and individualized care can truly transform quality of life, reinforcing the importance of listening to patients and treating the whole person rather than just the diagnosis.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, staying active as a family and being outdoors when weather permits. I prioritize CrossFit, strength training, running and nutrition to support my own physical and mental wellness.
What I find most rewarding is caring for patients as whole people and empowering them through education to better understand and manage their health.
