I really enjoy my interactions with my elderly patients and their families, and strive to keep the human element in my practice. My goal is to combine evidence-based medicine with a wholistic view of the patient- their family, beliefs, lifestyle, and past experiences, to develop a plan of care that is acceptable to each individual. I believe my job as a nurse practitioner is to educate and give patients the tools and knowledge needed to have an active role in their healthcare decisions. Born and raised in the Green Bay area, I am mother to two grown boys. I enjoy art, theatre, live music, hiking, cross-country skiing, and spending time with friends and family."
