North Carolina Heart & Vascular

Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent seven years at the bedside as a cardiac intensive care nurse (ICU) nurse. Those seven years provided invaluable wisdom and experience. Now, as a nurse practitioner, I work to approach every persons health care journey with empathy and grace. Outside of work, I love to spend my time outdoors with my husband and our three dogs. You can usually find me gardening or growing cut flowers in my spare time.

The UNC REX Cancer Center is a four-story, 145,000 square-foot building located at the intersection of Blue Ridge Road and Hopeful Drive supporting our mission of offering comprehensive cancer care to our community. Our new facility includes more services, programs, and easy parking in one convenient location.

I have been a registered nurse specializing in many different aspects of womens health care for more than 25 years. After many years of enjoying the connections made with patients, I decided to pursue my degree as a womens health nurse practitioner, which I obtained in 2010, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I consider it a privilege to partner with my patients, and to create a caring and safe environment for them to feel comfortable discussing their most personal concerns. I provide care and education for individuals seeking routine gynecological and prenatal care, contraceptive management, ovarian cysts, abnormal uterine bleeding, menopause management, and evaluation of pelvic pain. My hobbies include Pilates, yoga, gardening, and spending time with my husband, two children and Labrador Retriever.
