Having worked as a registered nurse for many years, I developed a passion for cardiology and later advanced my career to become a nurse practitioner. I believe in the importance of wellness, disease prevention strategies, improving quality of life and providing the most up-to-date evidence based medical care. By collaborating with my patients, loved ones, caregivers and other health care providers, we are able to address and tailor a treatment plan to meet their health needs. I have family in Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I enjoy reading, music, camping, kayaking, Big 10 sports, and always enjoy time spent with family and friends."
