I have been a registered nurse for 29 years and have been practicing as an APRN for 10 years. I am a compassionate, self-motivated, clinically sound provider who takes pride in delivering quality care while establishing excellent rapport and partnerships with my patients. Compassion and clinical competence have earned me the respect of many patients, families, physicians and co-workers. Over the years, patient reviews have described my nursing skills as outstanding and my care delivery as honest, encouraging, compassionate and direct. Collaborating physicians describe me as a valuable asset and a strong provider of direct patient care.
