"Patients are the experts on their own bodies, and I believe in guiding individuals on their unique journeys of self-discovery and healing."

Background

I bring over 29 years of nursing experience to Hopscotch Primary Care, with a background spanning a wide variety of clinical settings, primarily in critical care. I traveled extensively as a travel RN and served on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic at health departments in Washington, D.C. and Florida. At Hopscotch, I take a holistic, patient-centered approach that emphasizes health ownership, preventative care, and empowering patients to take an active role in their own well-being.
