I have known since high school that I wanted to be a nurse. I had an innate interest in helping others, and I grew up hearing stories from my mom and aunt about their nursing careers. My mom is an award-winning neonatal nurse in New Jersey; she's quite a legacy to follow. After earning my undergraduate degree from Rutgers University, I worked as a registered nurse in the emergency department and surgical units. Later, I pursued a master's degree at Georgetown University and became a family nurse practitioner. Being a family nurse practitioner allows me to work with patients and their families, and focus on ways to help keep people healthy through every stage of life. I like the collaboration that happens in family practice by working with specialists, physicians and the entire care team. I am board-certified as a family nurse practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. I focus on a patient-centered care model. This means that the patient is the most important decision maker. I'm there to educate, answer questions, help set goals and provide support. My approach is in stark contrast to the old traditional medicine model that involved clinicians telling patients what they needed to do and offering them little choice. I treat patients as if they were my neighbor. I enjoy collaborating with different health specialties. In my training, I worked alongside a variety of clinicians - from naturopaths to Naval health system staff. I am a past board member of the Puget Sound Chapter of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, where I helped organize continuing education events. I love to teach - both patients and students - and have served as a preceptor to nurse practitioner students through several public and private universities. My husband is also a nurse, and we are parents to a busy young child. We are happy to be back on the East Coast after spending seven years in Washington state. In our free time, we love to be outdoors - especially if we're hiking or running. Every few years, I am honored to go on a medical mission trip, which is often a career highlight of the year.
