Why did you become a provider? While working as a nurse in St. Luke's Heart Care Clinic, I saw an opportunity to help grow the Heart Failure Program. As an advanced practice provider, I believe I can have a greater impact on patient care and help improve access to important health services. My goal is to be an integral member of the patient's overall care team providing evidence-based, patient-centered healthcare. I also have a passion for patient education and finding ways to overcome barriers to care.

How would you describe the ideal patient/provider relationship? An ideal patient/provider relationship is one of good communication, mutual trust and a genuine partnership in healthcare.

What do you like to do in your free time? I enjoy reading, running and spending time with my family and friends.
