Hi! As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), I am both a registered nurse (RN) and an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN).  As an APRN, I can examine, consult, diagnose, and treat my own patients.
 
I have been in the medical field for the past 18 years.  During that time I have worked in medical administration, as an EMT, labor & delivery nurse, and as an OBGYN APRN.
 
Women’s Health is my passion.  Women are the pillars of our families and communities but sometimes we are so busy caring for others that we rarely make time to care for ourselves.  As a wife and mother, I can relate to this. There also seems to be an element of mystery and taboo regarding the female body that makes people nervous talking about it.  If you’ve ever gone to your primary care provider for a breast or vaginal concern only to watch him sweat and offer to refer you to an OBGYN, then you know what I’m talking about.  It is my hope that by sharing my knowledge with as many women as possible, they will feel empowered to take charge of their own health and inspire other women in their lives to do the same.
