At some point in our lives, we will all face our own health challenges or will experience the health decline of our loved ones. My goal is to meet everyone I encounter with peace and understanding for their unique situation.
I am a board-certified adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner (AGPCNP). I focus on palliative medicine, and I strive to provide symptom relief from serious and potentially life-limiting illnesses to my patients. I also initiate goals-of-care conversations with patients and families.
Prior to my nursing career, I was a social worker serving as a sexual assault counselor, hospice medical social worker and mental health case manager. My roles in nursing included serving as a weekend on-call nurse, interim director of nursing and home-care nurse practitioner for Via Health Partners in Cleveland County. I also worked as an intensive care unit (ICU) nurse for 10 years at Atrium Health Cleveland.
I received my master’s degree in nursing at South University.
Away from work, I enjoy exercise, sporting events and spending time with my husband and 3 daughters. We love traveling, and our favorite destination is Seabrook Island, South Carolina.
