I grew up in Cheshire County, and giving back to this community means the world to me. I want to make a difference in people’s lives. Through my work in family medicine, I reach that goal one household at a time. Having been a registered nurse for the past 14 years, I’m well-equipped to support my patient’s unique needs. I am a caring, compassionate and understanding partner in each healthcare journey. My patients and I work together to come up with a plan that works for their health concerns and lifestyles. I am their advocate and when they feel heard and validated, I know I’ve done an important part of my job. The continuity of care that comes with family medicine means I can provide that nurturing support throughout a patient’s lifetime, allowing trusting relationships to grow. Love and support are essential for a successful healthcare journey. That is why family-centered care is so important. Through collaboration, we can help each family member become the healthiest version of themselves.
