As a nurse practitioner at Sanitas, I provide holistic and individual care, tending to my patients’ medical, cultural, emotional and mental health needs. I treat the individual, not the problem, focusing on health promotion and preventive care. My patients are involved in their care at every step so that they feel safe and confident in managing their health at home. A good day at work means I’ve provided my patients with the most pleasant experience possible, all while meeting their care needs. I also enjoy looking at the progress and outcomes we achieve together. I decided to go into medicine when I was in grade school, then decided on a nursing career when my father was admitted for a hip replacement and I saw first-hand the care the nurses provided and the difference they made in his recovery and well-being. I wanted to be “that person” for others. When I’m not at work, I love to spend time with my two toddlers. I also enjoy movie nights during my free time.
