In my own words

Care philosophy: As a Nurse Practitioner, my philosophy of care centers on a holistic, patient-centered approach that values the unique needs and preferences of each individual. I believe in empowering patients through education, promoting preventative care, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment that enhances quality of life.

Why I became a medical provider: I was motivated by a deep commitment to positively impact people's lives by providing care during illness and promoting overall health. This drive also led me to pursue leadership roles in healthcare, where I could influence patient care practices, policies, and education. This passion was reflected in my DNP project, where I became the first to implement a study on Food Insecurity screening in clinical settings in 2014. This project has since been downloaded 3,131 times by organizations and schools across the USA and worldwide.
