Nurse Practitioner
OB/GYN
Department: OB/GYN
I'm a board-certified nurse practitioner who specializes in women's sexual health and gynecology and provides body positive and trauma-informed care. I've always been passionate about empowering women to have a voice and make informed choices about their care, particularly on issues such as contraception, family planning and sexuality. I often tell patients that they are the pilot and I'm the co-pilot. I'm here to explain their condition and treatment options and ultimately, they make the final decision about which route we take.
Sometimes certain aspects of women's health, such as sexual health, are not always adequately addressed in healthcare and I am passionate about changing that. I strive to provide quality, evidenced-based care for women while also helping to educate the community and my fellow healthcare providers. I have partnered with other providers to create informational forums for patients and educational opportunities for healthcare providers to learn about women's sexual health. I'm also a founding member of the Ohio Sexual Health Collaborative, a professional women's sexual health organization.
It's exciting to collaborate with others who share my passion for women's health, as that passion helps to keep the ideas flowing. At the Ohio State Center for Women's Health, I collaborate with and learn from other women's health specialists beyond gynecology. We discuss mutual patients and provide a well-rounded healthcare experience for everyone who comes to see us. Being here has helped me strengthen my knowledge and keep up to date in medical fields such as primary care and endocrinology that I otherwise would not have access to.
When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my son and husband. My hobbies include reading, kayaking and hiking. My husband and I love to travel and have visited many places in Central America and the Caribbean. I also enjoy crafts such as crochet and sewing and made my first quilt during the pandemic.
