I really enjoy my interactions with my elderly patients and their families, and strive to keep the human element in my practice. My goal is to combine evidence-based medicine with a wholistic view of the patient- their family, beliefs, lifestyle, and past experiences, to develop a plan of care that is acceptable to each individual. I believe my job as a nurse practitioner is to educate and give patients the tools and knowledge needed to have an active role in their health care decisions. Born and raised in the Green Bay area, I am mother to two grown boys. I enjoy art, theatre, live music, hiking, cross-country skiing, and spending time with friends and family."
