I manage cardiology and heart failure care while training the next generation of nurse practitioners.

United States
Message

At Northwestern Medicine, I manage cardiology and heart failure care as a full-time nurse practitioner, drawing on experience in acute and inpatient settings.

I've spent 20 years as a nurse practitioner and 30 years in critical care nursing, with experience in cardiovascular surgery, hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, lipid management, and acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions.

I'm passionate about teaching and training nurse practitioners in general medicine and cardiology, including roles as an Assistant Professor at Northern Illinois University and Adjunct Professor at College of Lake County.
