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.

A Louisville, Kentucky native, I have joined the UNC midwives after recently practicing as a midwife at a regional medical center in Alamance County. I began my nursing career as a registered nurse in critical-care settings for seven years and was introduced to midwifery practice at the delivery of my first child. Through this empowering experience I made the decision to transition to labor and delivery nursing where I practiced while completing my Masters of Nursing with a concentration in nurse-midwifery from East Carolina University. During my time at ECU I was selected as an APRN Rural Scholar, completing additional education and training focused on the delivery of care to rural and underserved communities. I seek to practice from a trauma-informed framework, acknowledging and respecting the complex backgrounds of all patients. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, reading and being outdoors.
