Specialty
Women's Health
Why do you love working in women’s health?
I love working in women's health because it is an intimate specialty where most women feel vulnerable and feel they do not have the support they need. Being a family nurse practitioner with an emphasis in women's health and a nationally certified menopause provider I feel hat I can connect with patients and have them open up about their women health needs and provide the the support and treatment they deserve. On a virtual platform that can be challenging, however having a network of colleagues and resource for the patient has helped in their overall treatment.
What do you do outside of work?
Outside of work I am busy with my children’s activities and church. I try to volunteer my time to the community as much as possible.
