Provider Bio

I have a Postmaster's Certificate from Concordia University as a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, and I am board certified in Gerontology from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

I have worked at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison, Bellin Hospital Advanced Care Department, and I am an Assistant Professor at Bellin College of Nursing, where I teach in the area of cardiac nursing. I have published and presented extensively on cardiovascular topics throughout my career.

I have been working with cardiovascular care in a variety of settings for over 30 years and I believe in a preventive approach to health care. It is important to listen to patients' concerns, provide treatment options and support their positive lifestyle choices.
