I was a nurse for about eight years. While I was a nurse, I liked the relationships that I built, but also wanted to be able to do a little bit more for my patients. I decided to become a family nurse practitioner. I'm most passionate about not only the relationships that I can build with my patients, but also just living a healthy lifestyle. Not only for me, but also encouraging my patients to do so. I believe in exercising and eating a healthy diet. That's where I like to focus my practice on. I want to provide the best care possible to my patients and I want to be the best provider I can be.
