I have been a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner since 2023 with degrees in both Nursing and Health Science. I was an OB nurse doing labor and delivery, postpartum and nursery care for 4 years and most recently working as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner for the past 2 years. I have a passion for reproductive health in general and love the patient education part of my job.
While not working, I spend time with my husband, two kids, and two very large dogs. I enjoy movies, reading, and fall weather.
