I have always loved the pediatric patient population. I fell in love with the cardiac population during my residency in the nurse practitioner program. I feel so lucky to be able to work with heart warriors and their families. My goal is to support children and their families throughout their hospitalizations and to be part of their recoveries and their occasional struggles. Because I have a son with heart issues, seeing the successes of my patients makes me very hopeful for my son.
I’m a board-certified pediatric nurse practitioner in acute care. I specialize in pediatrics, pediatric cardiology and pediatric critical care medicine.
I’m a member of the Scientific Review Committee for the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4). The committee promotes, supports and achieves collaborative scientific work using the PC4 database, a collection of data from cardiovascular intensive care units around the world.
I received my master’s degree in nursing at Rush University.
Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors with my husband and son, hiking, going to the beach and exploring all that North Carolina has to offer. We love to cook and enjoy having dinners with our friends and family.
