I always wanted a career in medicine and started as an RN in acute care oncology. I loved connecting with patients and making an impact on their lives. After 11 years in oncology, I had the opportunity to specialize as a gastrointestinal (GI) cancer nurse navigator and work closely with the surgical team. I was instantly hooked and fascinated by the GI system and the surgical interventions used to address GI issues. I pursued my acute care nurse practitioner degree and knew I wanted to continue focusing on the GI system and surgery. My approach to healthcare has always been to treat the person - not just the problem. Each patient is an individual with needs and goals. It is my job to collaborate with each patient and help create a treatment plan that not only delivers excellent outcomes, but targets what my patient feels is important in their healthcare. I am board-certified in acute care for the adult and geriatric populations and certified as a surgical first assistant, meaning I have specialty training that allows me to assist in the operating room. Today, I have two decades of experience as an acute care RN and nurse practitioner with a focus on acute care oncology, gastrointestinal malignancy and colorectal surgery. I am proud to have been born and raised in the Asheville, North Carolina, area. I have a wonderful husband and an amazing son who plays competitive baseball. So, we spend lots of time on the baseball field. When I'm not working or on the ball field, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking and spending time with friends. As a family, we love to travel and explore new places.
