Professional interests:

- Palliative Care
I am an adult-gerontological certified nurse practitioner with professional interests in geriatrics, hospice and palliative care.
Hometown: Dawson, MN
Practice Philosophy: The nurse practitioner is a member of an interdisciplinary team which includes the resident and their family with the goal of care being to support the resident in living and dying as they chose.
The best part of my work is: making a positive difference in someone's day.
I became a provider because: as a young licensed practical nurse (LPN), I worked with a nurse practitioner who showed me how a provider on-site at a nursing home improves care for the residents and supports family caregivers and know it was something I wanted to do.
Favorite health tip: You can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be a: long-term care nurse.
