Clinical Interests
My clinical interests include the special population of patients with single ventricle heart disease, such as with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I follow patients between the stages of palliative surgery and enjoy the continuity of following my patients closely. I am lucky to work with a great team of nurses, cardiologists, dieticians, feeding and physical therapists, psychologists and social workers to deliver high quality care. I am interested in various quality initiatives to improve outcomes for those living with single ventricle heart disease and to help guide our care.
Care Philosophy
As a pediatric nurse practitioner caring for complex patients with single ventricle heart disease, my goal is to provide high quality, efficient, and family focused care to all of my patients. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and enjoy working together to provide unique care to each individual.
