I see my role as an advocate for patients and families so they can get what they need to live a healthy and productive life. Knowing that my patients benefit from my knowledge and experience is such a gratifying part of being a family nurse practitioner.

Creating a partnership with patients is always a top priority. The key to personalizing care is establishing strong, open and honest lines of communication.

More than anything, I want my patients to feel comfortable telling me what they need to live their best lives. Ultimately, that's really what matters.
