About Me

As a board-certified adult gerontology primary care nurse practitioner, I specialize in the care of patients 65 years and older. My patients typically have complex social and medical needs that require longer visits, comprehensive medication reconciliation and individualized education.

I understand the importance of taking the time to understand my patients’ specific challenges, cultural practices and priorities. I work collaboratively with each person to create sustainable, personalized treatment plans aligned with their needs and values. Nothing brings me more joy than knowing that my patients feel safe, understood and supported.

I was initially inspired to pursue this specialty after caring for my grandmother. I further developed an understanding of the unique needs of aging adults and their families during five years as a bedside nurse and seven years working as a nurse practitioner in assisted living and skilling nursing facilities.

I have been honored to be recognized for my clinical care. I received an Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Faculty Award from Ohio State University College of Nursing. I am also a member of the Gerontological Advanced Practice Nurses Association (GAPNA) and American Geriatrics Society.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, traveling and gardening. I like trying new restaurants and experiencing all that Columbus has to offer. Ask me about my dogs, Hudson and Roo.
