About Me
Biographical Statement
My background as a nurse practitioner began in Women's Health, under a grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, at the Health Department in Owosso, MI. I spent over three years screening for and Educating women about early signs of cervical cancer.
I later obtained my MSN in Adult Gerontology, where I would spend the latter part of my career in the hospital setting as a nurse practitioner hospitalist and advanced practice provider in Neurology. The field of Neurology provided a multitude of experiences in cognitive impairment, migraines, neuropathy, stroke and promoting patient Education in early recognition of signs and symptoms of stroke, within a multi-disciplinary team.
During my experience in Neurology, evolved an interest in pain management and substance use disorder, where I am currently practicing. While the consensus of pain and addiction is difficult, my goal is to establish a good patient-clinician rapport while promoting trust and understanding.
