About Me

I am a Palliative Care nurse practioner and joined West in August 2018 after being with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. One of the things I love most about nursing is helping people. Whether it be large or small, I hope to have a positive impact on my patients and improve their quality of life. Palliative Care, with a focus on the relief of suffering, helps me work to improve patient’s lives on a daily basis. Walking alongside our patients as they travel this cancer journey is an honor and privilege.

When I am not working, I love to read, travel and volunteering with the American Legion Auxiliary Volunteer Girls State, a citizenship development program for high school seniors.
