What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and extensive experience in pain management and neurology.

I am passionate about delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care, particularly for individuals experiencing acute and chronic pain conditions.
Currently, I work at Heywood Henry Hospital, where I provide tailored pain management solutions, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to optimize patient outcomes. My previous roles at UMass Chan Medical School and UMass Memorial Healthcare allowed me to develop specialized care protocols for patients with complex neurological conditions, ensuring their medical needs are met with empathy and expertise. I have also been involved in clinical research, contributing to advancements in treatment for rare diseases.
