What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team that values compassionate, evidence-based care—supporting primary/urgent care and telemedicine, proactive health risk assessments, and strong chronic disease management to improve long-term patient outcomes.

I’m a dedicated and compassionate Family Nurse Practitioner with 22+ years of experience delivering high-quality primary care, urgent care, health risk assessments, telemedicine/remote care, chronic disease management, and medical weight loss services. I focus on closing care gaps through in-home and virtual comprehensive physical assessments, triage, and follow-up recommendations based on abnormal findings.

I lead by motivating teams and working closely with interdisciplinary partners to optimize patient outcomes. In my roles, I manage patients with diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and hyperlipidemia, using screenings such as A1C Now, Digital Retina Screen, and QuantoFlo peripheral vascular disease screening, while educating patients on preventive care, vaccinations, and colon cancer screening options like (iFOBT).
