Philosophy of Care:

As a compassionate and dedicated Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe that the foundation of exceptional care lies in the power of collaboration. My philosophy of care centers around shared decision-making, where I actively engage families in their child’s healthcare journey, ensuring that every voice is heard. I prioritize evidence-based care to provide the most effective and up-to-date treatments, while always creating a safe and open space for discussions. I believe in fostering trust with families, allowing them to express their concerns and hopes while empowering children to reach their fullest potential as they grow.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time in nature, where I can recharge and find inspiration. My hobbies include kayaking, hiking, backpacking, and fishing. I also love reading, watching movies and attending family gatherings. I have a deep love for music: I thoroughly enjoy musicals, concerts, singing, plays and anything music-related.
