Biography
As a Certified Nurse Practitioner in the Podiatry Department, I specialize in diabetic foot exams as well as toenail trimming and callus debridement. I assist patients with general foot care and focus on preventative measures to reduce their risk for foot complications related to diabetes. Educating the patient is an important part of what I do as I have been a nurse for over 25 years. Empowering the patient to be an active part of their care is very important to me.
I can manage and treat foot issues such as Fungal toenails, Athletes foot, neuropathy and pre-ulcerative lesions. I can provide prescriptions for Diabetic shoes and custom orthotics and refer patients with more complicated issues such as foot wounds, deformities, infections, or significant pain to our team of Physicians.
I chose to come to Ohio State because of its excellent reputation and collaborative environment. I enjoy working with a great team of professionals dedicated to providing the best patient care at a medical center that offers an abundance of resources to make it all possible.
When I’m not working I love spending time with my husband, our two teenagers and friends. We enjoy traveling together and attending various sporting events.
