About
My background as a registered nurse in the pediatric ICU and my current role as a Nephrology Nurse Practitioner have allowed me to develop a deep understanding of pediatric care. Beyond my clinical expertise, I am also a mother, which has further honed my empathy, patience, and commitment to providing the best possible care for children in every stage of their development. My belief in treating others with respect and care guides my practice, as I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families, while also fostering a sense of teamwork and integrity within the healthcare setting.
