I want my patients to feel cared for and that we have achieved a common goal to improve their health. I’m honored that patients and families trust me to guide them when making important medical decisions. I take that trust very seriously. I’ve enjoyed working with children and families throughout my healthcare career. I started my career in healthcare administration. I soon realized I wanted to work more directly with patients and families. After becoming a nurse, I worked at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD). I loved being at the bedside and caring for our most vulnerable patients in pediatric oncology. That experience convinced me to continue my education to become a nurse practitioner. The primary care setting allows me to develop relationships with patients and families so we can work together to improve their health. I am passionate about working with underserved populations. I love conversing in Spanish with patients. I truly enjoy getting to know my patients. I love learning what is most important to them and what drives them to be healthy!
