Additional Information
Community Activities
I volunteer for Rock Med which provides services to people attending events that become ill or injured. I have volunteered providing sports physicals to the community youth sports groups and local high schools. I also have participated on the sidelines of sporting events to provide immediate care. I am a member of Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society for Nursing, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, and a Major in the United States Air Force Reserves.
Personal Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. We are all active and enjoy all sports. I enjoy hiking, biking, and swimming. Specifically, I enjoy participating in running events and triathlons. Moving to Santa Cruz, I hope to begin to surf and continue my love of all things related to the ocean!!
Philosophy of Care
My passion is empowering patients with the knowledge needed to manage disease and more importantly prevent disease. To me, it is most important to collaborate with patients to educate them on the benefits of health through lifestyle improvements. Working in an urgent care setting allows individuals to fill the gap when they have an urgent need, or are unable to get same-day appointments with their primary care provider. I look forward to providing your care when an urgent or emergent need arises.
