I am a certified nurse practitioner with professional interests in health and wellness promotion, geriatric medicine, chronic disease management and preventive care.
Hometown: Hopkins, Minnesota
Practice philosophy: To provide safe and efficient health care that improves the health and quality of life of patients, and their families. My goal is be a positive energy in patient lives that values the patient’s input in their own health care.
I am passionate about: improving the health and quality of life of patients through proactive, patient-centered, culturally-sensitive medical care.
If I wasn't a nurse, I would be: a mechanical engineer because I am results oriented and love to see the outcome of my efforts.
Patients have taught me: that they appreciate providers who listen and include them in medical decision making. Also, that sometimes our smallest actions have the biggest impact in patients’ lives.
A challenge of this career that I enjoy is: the ongoing learning and research. Through ongoing learning and research, I continue to be up to date on the most current treatment recommendations and best medical practice.
My personal health goal: lead by example. Eat, exercise and live as healthy as I advise my own patients.
I became a nurse to: improve patient’s health and be a light in their lives. I knew this was the career for me after volunteering in a couple medical facilities in Kenya after high school graduation.
