Biography

I am a board-certified nurse practitioner at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and treating patients for various conditions including kidney, liver, and pancreas transplantation, as well as managing care for living donors.

I have 20 years of transplant experience and my patients can rely on me for high quality, compassionate care and honest communication in every encounter. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values.

I am the lead for the abdominal solid organ transplant advance practice providers. In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about educating and mentoring the next generation of providers and helped to develop a formal mentorship program for Advance Practice Providers at the medical center. I also co-lead a support group for patients on the liver transplant weight list. I am a member of the American Society of Transplant and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons.

    Very good

    My care provider has always been there for me and her assistant or my Transplant nurse always there is like the rock for me that I can always call and get assistance. They put my mind at ease with any questions I have and I appreciate their time.
