Born and raised in the heart of Ohio, I carry with me the values of integrity, resilience, and community that have long defined the Midwest. My roots have shaped not only who I am personally, but also the professional I have become. When I am not pursuing my passion for healthcare, I enjoy exploring the great outdoors, or cherishing moments with family and friends, each experience grounding me and enriching my perspective on life and care.
My professional journey began at the esteemed Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH, where I took my first steps in the world of healthcare. Starting as a nurse, I developed a foundational appreciation for the intricacies of patient care, the importance of empathy, and the value of teamwork. These early experiences inspired me to further my education and ultimately obtain my Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner certification—a milestone that enabled me to expand my scope and impact within the field.
Throughout my career, I have discovered a particular affinity for working with patients living with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). I find immense fulfillment in supporting these individuals and guiding them through their health journeys. It is my belief that every patient deserves the opportunity to achieve optimal outcomes and enjoy the best quality of life possible, regardless of the challenges they face.
Driven, attentive, and deeply committed, I strive every day to make a difference in the lives of my patients and their families. It is both my privilege and my purpose to walk alongside them on their healthcare journeys, ensuring that hope, dignity, and excellence remain at the forefront of all I do.
