About Me
As a board-certified nurse practitioner at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in treating patients undergoing a lung transplant. I provide comprehensive care across each patient's entire transplant journey, from the initial evaluation to their post-transplant recovery and ongoing management.
I prioritize effective communication and education in every patient interaction. My role involves working closely with patients and their families to help guide them through a successful transplant surgery, and they can rely on me to answer their questions thoroughly and honestly.
Working in transplant surgery is both an honor and a challenge. I strive to always be a good steward to those who chose to become donors and help give someone else the gift of life.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I enjoy training the next generation of providers. I am a clinical preceptor for Advanced Practice Provider students. I am also a member of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation.
